Overview

  • The Justice Department sent the House Oversight Committee its first production of Jeffrey Epstein–related files, described by the panel as thousands of pages.
  • A person familiar with the handoff said the tranche includes more than 33,000 documents, and committee staff from both parties have begun reviewing the materials.
  • Oversight leaders plan to redact victim-identifying information and consult DOJ to avoid affecting ongoing cases before releasing documents publicly, with no timeline set.
  • Oversight Democrats say only about 3% of the 33,295 pages reviewed so far appear new, characterizing most of the production as previously released material.
  • Separately, DOJ released audio and redacted transcripts of its interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, as the committee’s broader subpoenas of high-profile witnesses continue.
