Photos from a trove of "never-before-seen" content published by Democrats on Wednesday have revealed cryptic writings inside disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender Jefferey Epstein's private island home, with some suspicious messages possibly alluding to his sex-trafficking ring.

Among the scores of images and videos released by the House Oversight Committee was one that showed Epstein's study.

In the room was a blackboard, which had several words scribbled on it: "political,", "plots," "deception," "power," and "truth" were among them, as was "music".

Some of these words were underlined like "music", while others had lines connecting them.

Some other words written on the board, however, were not decipherable.

Additionally, some other words were redacted from the photos, presumably due to their sensitive nature.

While it's unclear what this chart of words meant, photos showed that it took up one half of the board, stretching from one end to another.
