Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released never-before-seen images of Jeffrey Epstein's infamous island.

The photographs and video appear to show several bedrooms in the US Virgin Islands home, as well as a room with masks on a wall and a phone with names written on speed-dial buttons.

In a statement, the committee's Democratic leader, Robert Garcia, said they collectively form a "disturbing look" into Epstein's world and are being released to "ensure public transparency".

On 19 November, President Donald Trump signed a bill that ordered the release of government files on the late paedophile - a significant turning point in a months-long fight over the documents.

Multiple survivors have alleged that they were trafficked to and abused on the island, known as Little St James.
