House Oversight Releases Barr Deposition, Presses for Unredacted Epstein Ledgers After New Estate Files

The disclosures follow staff reviews that, the chairman says, justify obtaining unredacted ledgers, message logs, calendars, and flight logs.

Overview

  • The committee published the transcript of William Barr’s deposition, in which he reaffirmed that Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death was undoubtedly suicide and said he knew of no evidence tying President Trump to Epstein’s crimes.
  • Investigators also released letters from former attorneys general Alberto Gonzales and Jeff Sessions stating they have no relevant knowledge for the probe.
  • Epstein’s estate produced additional materials, including another address book and an unredacted name from the 2003 “50th birthday” book, with most identifying details still withheld to protect potential victims.
  • Chairman James Comer requested full unredacted cash ledgers, message logs, calendars, and flight logs after an in‑camera review that he said raised serious questions and showed missed messages that indicated criminal behavior.
  • The Justice Department has supplied about 33,000 pages under subpoena to date, with further releases constrained by victim‑privacy protections and limits on unsealing certain records.
