Morning Note

House Democrats released a batch of previously undisclosed Epstein Island photos on Wednesday, offering a new look into the notorious sex criminal’s hidden life.

The images show a handful of rooms inside Epstein’s U.S. Virgin Islands compound, allowing the public to see the venues in which untold numbers of children became victims of the billionaire’s pedophile ring. 

Epstein filled his home with bizarre decor, including a dentist’s chair and what appear to be creepy masks of historical figures mounted on the walls. One photo shows a blackboard with the words “deception” and “power” written in large, underlined text. 

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee obtained the images through the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Justice. They also received records from J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank, which members plan to review and release in the coming days.
