Massive Epstein Document Dump: 33,000 Pages of Files Released by US House Panel

The House of Representatives Oversight Committee has unveiled over 33,000 pages of previously unreleased documents related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, revealing flight logs, jail surveillance videos, and more. Despite the extensive nature of the release, both sides of the aisle noted the lack of new information.

In a significant move, a US House Oversight Committee released 33,295 pages of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein's federal investigation, including flight logs and jail video footage. However, lawmakers from both parties voiced their disappointment over the minimal new information disclosed, with some claiming 97% of the contents were already public. Amid growing calls for transparency, the session included emotional testimonies from Epstein's victims, highlighting ongoing concerns about the investigation's findings.

A US congressional panel has released a trove of documents related to the federal investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The House of Representatives Oversight Committee published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings, and emails.

But Republicans and Democrats alike noted the files contained little new information, and it is unclear if the Department of Justice is withholding other records related to Epstein.

Pressure has been mounting from President Donald Trump's supporters for more transparency on the probe into the well-connected financier after the Justice Department stated in July that there was no incriminating Epstein client list.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican, ordered the documents to be published online this past Tuesday. The Republican-led panel received the files after issuing a legal summons to the Department of Justice last month.

However, Comer acknowledged that there was little fresh information, stating, 'As far as I can see, there's nothing new in the documents.' He made these remarks while speaking to NBC News.

The released videos include footage from outside Epstein's New York jail cell on the night of his death, covering 13 hours and 41 seconds of video from the evening of August 9 to the morning of August 10, 2019. This new footage is two hours more than what the Justice Department released just two months prior but notably does not include a controversial missing minute—a gap in the timecode between 23:00 and 00:00, as reported by CBS.

Attorney General Pam Bondi described the missing minute as merely the jail's camera system resetting each night, yet the anomaly has sparked numerous conspiracy theories regarding Epstein's suicide.

The documentation includes interviews from 2006 with alleged victims of Epstein, where their faces are blurred, and names are omitted as they discuss the sexual abuse they endured while employed for massages. Also included are bodycam videos from police investigations of Epstein's Palm Beach residence.

Some of the documents trace back two decades, detailing an initial criminal investigation into Epstein initiated by Palm Beach police. Robert Garcia, the Democratic representative on the House Oversight Committee, cautioned the public not to be misled, revealing that nearly 97% of the documents obtained from the Justice Department had been publicly accessible prior.

According to Garcia, there is no mention of any client list or information that sheds light on the matter or provides any justice for victims.

Congresswoman Summer Lee indicated that the sole significant new disclosure involved flight logs from US Customs and Border Protection, which documented Epstein's travels to and from his private island in the US Virgin Islands.

This release follows attempts by Republican representative Thomas Massie to advocate for a bipartisan vote on legislation demanding that the Justice Department publish all Epstein-related files within a month.

People want these files released. I mean, look, it's not the biggest issue in our country. It's taxes, jobs, the economy—those are always the big issues. But you really can't solve any of that if this place is corrupt, Massie remarked.

Earlier, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Trump ally, and members of the oversight committee met privately with six victims of Epstein, leading to emotional moments as those present recalled their experiences.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace reportedly left the meeting in tears. Democrat Melanie Stansbury praised the survivors for their bravery in speaking out while condemning the case as a cover-up of epic proportions. Lawmakers and Epstein victims are set to hold a press conference on Capitol Hill this Wednesday.
