Overview
- More than 33,000 pages of Epstein-related records—along with images, videos and audio—were posted online by the Republican-led House oversight panel from materials supplied by the Justice Department.
- The tranche includes apparent police bodycam and interview recordings in which victims' faces are visible, drawing immediate concern over privacy protections for survivors.
- Democrats on the committee said much of the material was already public, while Speaker Mike Johnson called a separate disclosure measure unnecessary and insufficiently protective of victims.
- Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are proceeding with a discharge petition to compel release of all non-classified records and are hosting a Capitol press conference with survivors and their lawyers today.
- A federal judge previously noted the government holds roughly 100,000 pages and kept grand-jury material sealed, and the handling of the releases adds political pressure on President Trump after campaign promises to disclose the files.
