Private investigators hired by Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team stole three vital hard drives from his Florida home before they could be found by authorities, House Democrats say. 

Congressman Robert Garcia, the Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, made the allegation in a bombshell letter released Friday. 

According to a document revealed by the committee this week, private investigators visited Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in October 2005, when he was under investigation by Florida authorities but not yet arrested. 

The notorious sex trafficker was then arrested for the first time in 2006, before being handed a sweetheart deal the next year that allowed him to avoid being federally prosecuted. 

Garcia said Epstein’s personal attorney Darren Indyke confirmed in a deposition last week that three private investigators obtained the hard drives from Epstein’s home. 

The admission sparked fears that crucial evidence may have been hidden from law enforcement early in the investigations into Epstein’s crimes. 

‘It’s stunning that Jeffrey Epstein’s computers and hard drives were in the possession of Epstein’s private investigators and may never have been seen by any law enforcement agency,’ the lawmaker said. 

‘Oversight Democrats are working to access these hard drives and items and speak directly with the private investigators. We will identify every co-conspirator who shielded Epstein and hold them accountable.’ 

House Democrats also included a full list of items that were known to have been taken from Epstein’s home, highlighting an array of lewd, sexual items such as ‘super strap alternate bed posts’ and a large number of vibrators.

Garcia said after discovering the private investigators stole Epstein’s hard drives, he has requested the three detectives sit for interviews before the oversight committee, which has been revealing millions of documents from Epstein’s estate this year. 

In the list of items taken by private investigators from Epstein’s home in 2005, authorities noted a number of sexual toys, pornographic videos and vulgar instruments the pedophile owned. 

This included three magazines, titled ‘Purely 18’, ‘Only 18’, and ‘Barely Legal.’ 

Epstein also owned two books titled ‘Compleat Slave’ and ‘Training with Miss Abernathy’, described as guide books on living erotic dominant/ submissive lifestyles. 

The sex trafficker also had private investigators seize a large number of vibrators and sex toys, pornographic tapes, and over $2,200 in cash, the document revealed. 

It comes after footage from inside Epstein’s Florida home revealed he kept many of these items in six secret lockers, including sex-slave manuals and naked photographs of women. 

Epstein paid tens of thousands of dollars over many years to maintain the secret lockers at locations throughout Florida, also stashing three computers, 29 address books, and a three-page list of masseuses.

Garcia’s latest letter slamming the investigation into Epstein’s estate comes after the ranking Democrat torched the Department of Justice in February for redacting documents allegedly including references to President Trump. The president has never been formally accused of any wrongdoing by authorities

Garcia’s latest letter slamming the investigation into Epstein’s estate comes after the ranking Democrat torched the Department of Justice in February for redacting documents allegedly including references to President Trump. 

Garcia told NBC News at the time that files were missing that allegedly included mentions of Trump. The president has never been formally accused of any wrongdoing by authorities and there is no suggestion of impropriety on his part. 

The Democrat said that the files were also missing from the unredacted collection available for members of Congress, and accused the DOJ of breaking the law. 

He noted that the Epstein Transparency Act, passed by Congress in November, mandated that the DOJ publicize all documents related to the cases against Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. 

The department is only permitted to withhold files under the act if they are duplicates, fall under attorney-client privilege, could hurt an ongoing investigation or are completely unrelated to the Epstein and Maxwell cases. 

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has overseen the release of the files, has previously insisted that the department complied with the law and has not withheld documents or redacted information because it could prove embarrassing for Trump or other public figures.

‘I can assure that we complied with the statute, that we did not protect President Trump,’ he said at a news conference on January 30. ‘We didn’t protect or not protect anybody.’
