Overview

  • The Oversight Committee uploaded 33,295 DOJ-provided pages to public folders on Google Drive and Dropbox after receiving the materials under an August subpoena.
  • Top Democrats said most of the files were already public, noting that a small tranche appears new, including under 1,000 pages of CBP flight-log data and some videos and interview audio.
  • Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna filed a discharge petition to force a House vote compelling broader disclosure, a move that would require 218 signatures to succeed.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson called the petition effort moot and signaled leadership prefers the committee-led process that continues releasing records with victim-protection redactions.
  • Committee leaders announced additional subpoenas, including to the Epstein estate and for Treasury suspicious activity reports, while survivors met privately with lawmakers as further DOJ productions are expected.
