Jeffrey Epstein kept a trove of CDs and nude photos of women and girls stuffed in the closets of his $77million New York City townhouse, Ghislaine Maxwell's trial had heard.
The FBI discovered 'numerous black binders' containing CDs which were clearly labelled with 'thumbnail photos' attached inside a closet at the 7-storey Manhattan residence during a search on July 6, 2019.
The raid took place on the same day that Epstein, 66, was taken into custody after landing in the United States from France. He hanged himself a month later.
Agents also uncovered a safe filled with more CDs, jewelry, hard-drives, 'loose diamonds,' passports and a 'large amount of US currency,' Special Agent Kelly Maguire testified.
They photographed the items but did not have the warrant to remove them and when they returned four days later, on July 11, they were no longer there.

Agent Maguire, a member of an FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, said she called Richard Kahn, Epstein's lawyer, to ask where the items were.
'Twenty to thirty minutes after the conversation, Richard Kahn came to the residence and brought them items back in two suitcases,' Agent Maguire said.
However, she could not be certain that the data contained on the CDs and hard drives was the same as the ones that were taken. The rest of the items were properly accounted for.
Boxes of CDs and hard-drives were found in several rooms throughout the apartment, including in the massage room.
