Overview
- The Justice Department delivered more than 33,000 pages to the House Oversight Committee in response to a subpoena, with committee staff noting this is the first batch.
- Oversight Democrats say about 97% of the documents were already public and that fewer than 1,000 new pages were Customs and Border Protection flight-location logs from 2000 to 2014.
- The committee says it will release records only after a review to redact victim identities and to avoid affecting ongoing investigations.
- Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie plan to seek a floor vote after the recess to compel a fuller public release of the files.
- On the same day as the handover, DOJ published audio and redacted transcripts of its July interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, and President Trump said he supports keeping the process "totally open."
