Overview

• The Justice Department informed Chair James Comer it will start producing documents to the committee on Friday, with child sexual abuse material and victim identifiers removed.
• A sweeping subpoena issued this month seeks all records from the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell files, materials from the earlier Florida probe, and communications between the Biden administration and the DOJ related to Epstein.
• The planned production marks a partial shift from last month, when the DOJ and FBI said further disclosure of Epstein materials was not appropriate or justified.
• DOJ officials questioned Ghislaine Maxwell over two days in Florida last month, and courts have so far rejected DOJ requests to unseal grand jury transcripts.
• The committee has also issued separate subpoenas to eight former law enforcement leaders and to Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to reporting.
