House Panel Releases First 33,000-Page Tranche of DOJ Epstein Files

A bipartisan push seeks fuller disclosure that House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes.

Overview

  • The House oversight committee posted more than 33,000 pages that the Justice Department provided under subpoena.
  • Folders in the release include hundreds of image and video files, including apparent police bodycam footage and victim interviews with faces visible, according to the coverage.
  • Officials say extensive redactions to shield victim identities and remove child sexual‑abuse material will require time.
  • News outlets describe this as a first batch, with further productions and possible releases expected, and it remains unclear whether the files contain new revelations.
  • Cross-party lawmakers are moving to force broader unsealing through a discharge petition, and Speaker Mike Johnson is working to block the effort, while some Democrats say most of the posted material was already public.
