The latest batch of files released by the Justice Department features a picture of Michael Jackson with Jeffrey Epstein.
The King of Pop, who died in 2009, was seen in several images with the disgraced financier.
Jackson posing with Epstein for a photo.
The first photo shows MJ standing next to Epstein in an undated picture.
It is unclear where the photo was taken and no other references are given.
A separate image shows Jackson and former US President Bill Clinton posing with an unidentified woman on a private jet.
Clinton has since said that she wishes she had never met Epstein.

It is not clear when, where and in what context these two photographs were taken.
Other images released show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying on the laps of five women and laughing with Ghislaine Maxwell.
English business magnate Richard Branson has been pictured arm-in-arm with Epstein.
A separate series of photos shows Rolling Stones star Mick Jagger socialising with Clinton, Maxwell and an unnamed woman.
It’s important to note that these photos are not indicative of any wrongdoing.
Many of the individuals shown have denied any involvement in any wrongdoing involving Epstein.
The Epstein File Transparency Act only requires the release of the initial batch of materials today, not the entire collection.
One part of the files contains about 170 morphed images of women in sexual poses.
A list of masseuses with 254 redacted names appears elsewhere.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch explained that the DOJ was taking extra precautions to ensure that the identities of hundreds of Epstein’s victims were removed from the records, hence the delay.
“I expect we will release several hundred thousand documents today,” Blanch said.
“And those documents will come in all different forms, photographs and other materials related to all of the investigations into Mr Epstein.
“So today, several hundred thousand, and then over the next couple of weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more,” he said.
Ahead of the release, President Trump declined to answer any questions about the documents’ release after an event in the Oval Office on Friday.
A preliminary review shows that the documents released today come from three separate investigations into Epstein’s crimes.
Many of the files appear to come from a 2005 police investigation in Palm Beach, Florida.
A federal investigation followed, culminating in Epstein’s infamous 2008 plea deal.
A second investigation in 2019 led to an indictment for sex trafficking.
Epstein pleaded not guilty but died in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial.
