Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee have released another batch of photographs subpoenaed from the estate of disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

From an inmate request form, to high-profile figures, and development plans for one of his private Caribbean islands, the content of the 68 images was wide-ranging, with no extra context provided for any of them.

Some were particularly striking: a screenshot of a text conversation saying "I will send u girls now", a person's body with quotes from the novel Lolita scrawled across it, and a swathe of passports - names redacted - but belonging to women from Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine and more.

It's important to note that simply appearing in these photographs does not imply any wrongdoing.

The photographs "were selected to provide the public with transparency into a representative sample of the photos received from the estate" said a statement put out by the Democrats behind the release.

Republicans have previously accused Democrats of "cherry-picking" images and "making targeted redactions".

These are just the latest piecemeal release from about 95,000 images the committee currently holds.

Moreover, these are not the long-awaited "Epstein files".

All eyes are now on the Department of Justice which must release the full trove of information it holds relating to its criminal investigations into Epstein by tomorrow.
