Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a new batch of 68 photos obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. Follow live updates here.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a batch of 68 photos obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Trump administration to release a much larger group of Epstein files.

The photos come from a trove of 95,000 images the committee received last week, the Democrats said. The release includes images of lines from the novel “Lolita” written on a person’s body; various travel documents; a screenshot of text messages about an 18-year-old from Russia and more. The photos can be accessed here.

The Democrats released several dozen photos last week, showing various high-profile figures including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, Gates and others. Neither batch of photos implicates any of those pictured in Epstein’s crimes.

        The author, Nabokov, wanted the reader to be abhorred by the narrator character.

        Unsurprisingly, pedophiles loved it and related to him.
