The latest Jeffrey Epstein files released show the late convicted pedophile kissing and cuddling with little girls and revealed that he had an interest in child pornography.
Epstein was seen draped in a robe looking at the content with his eyes closed and cradling an apparent very young blonde girl. Another photo shows him seated on his private jet with a young girl sitting on his lap.
A third photo shows Epstein kissing a redheaded girl with pigtails on the head while staring directly into the camera. The tranche of photos of child pornography found at Epstein's mansion, which includes one image showing a naked infant in a bath displayed on a wall.
The never-before-seen images were framed and displayed on a bookshelf located at Epstein's infamous Little St. James Island located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The unnamed children in the pornography images appear to be significantly younger than the teenagers Epstein admitted to paying for sex as part of his 2008 sweetheart deal reached with federal prosecutors and its unclear whether they were among the late convicted pedophile's victims.
The released images confirm previous claims made by a whistleblower who warned the FBI that Epstein had an interest in child pornography in 1996. The photos were among thousands of heavily redacted Epstein records released by the Justice Department on Friday (December 19), which served as the deadline for the document release in adherence with the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump last month.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche claimed that the newly released files related to Epstein suddenly disappearing from the U.S. Department of Justice's website "has nothing to do with President Trump," rather came at the request of victim advocacy groups during an appearance on NBC News' Meet the Press Sunday (December 21).
Blanche, who represented Trump in his New York City criminal trial and was nominated as his deputy attorney general following his presidential election victory in November 2024, claimed that the evidence released included un-redacted pictures of women, which he said "will go back up" after the Justice Department officials investigate whether to make additional redactions.
Trump announced he signed a bill to compel the U.S. Justice Department to release files related to Epstein in a post shared on his Truth Social account on November 19 amid public scrutiny for his past relationship with the convicted pedophile. Trump's lengthy post attempted to tie Epstein to the Democrats, days after publicly urging Republicans to vote in favor of the release of the full Justice Department files related to Epstein, changing his previous stance on the files being released.
The president had called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's ties to prominent Democratic officials and banks like JP Morgan days after his own name was mentioned in emails sent by the late convicted pedophile.
"We have released over 33,000 Epstein documents to the Hill, and we will continue to follow the law and to have maximum transparency. Also, we will always encourage all victims to come forward," Bondi said at a November news conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and others on an unrelated issue via ABC News.
