A pair of new photos from the Jeffrey Epstein files released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) appear to show the late convicted sex trafficker with a young child.

The files, released by the DOJ on Friday, Dec. 19, include the two photos of Epstein — who was previously charged by the DOJ with sex trafficking minors and died in prison in August 2019 — relaxing shirtless in a living space.

Epstein smiles and poses for the camera on a couch. In the corner of the photos, a small leg wearing a black shoe can be seen sticking out over a pile of items on a chair.

The images were released in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump on Nov. 19 and required the DOJ to make all files related to Epstein's sex trafficking investigation public and searchable.

The Oversight Committee began releasing photographs from Epstein's estate in early December and vowed to continue releasing additional images as they pore through nearly 100,000 documents.

The files related to Epstein released this month also include photos of the disgraced financier with numerous high-profile figures, including Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Michael Jackson. The celebrities featured in the photos are not accused of any criminal behavior, and the photos were released without context.

Clinton's deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, addressed the photos on X, writing, "They can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn't about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton."

Gates spoke about his interactions with Epstein in a January interview with The Wall Street Journal.

"In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him," he said. "And he, sort of, got time with various people by spending time with other people. So yes, I think I was quite stupid. I thought it would help me with global health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that; it was just a huge mistake."

Additional files and photos related to Epstein may be released in the future, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. He announced on Friday that the agency would not be able to release the Epstein files in full, saying that the DOJ needed more time to complete redactions in the hundreds of thousands of pages of documents related to Epstein's investigation.

"Today, the Department of Justice publicly released materials related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act," Blanche wrote in a post on his X account. "Additional responsive materials will be produced as our review continues, consistent with the law and with protections for victims."

Blanche said in an interview with Fox News that his office expects to release "several hundred thousand more" documents related to the Epstein investigation "in the next couple weeks," The Hill reported.

In response, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed the release, specifically the redaction of documents. “Simply releasing a mountain of blacked-out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law,” he said in a statement provided to The New York Times. “For example, all 119 pages of one document were completely blacked out. We need answers as to why.”
