House Oversight Releases 33,000+ Epstein Files, But There’s a Problem [WATCH]

The House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, released thousands of documents Tuesday evening tied to the Jeffrey Epstein case, marking the most significant disclosure to date.

The release comes ahead of a scheduled House-wide vote later this week that could formally authorize the committee’s investigation into Epstein and his associates.

If the vote passes, the committee would be required to make public all Epstein-related files provided by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), who subpoenaed the DOJ for all available material, confirmed that nearly 34,000 pages of documents have already been turned over.

“This is the most thorough investigation into Epstein and Maxwell to date, and we are getting results,” Comer said during a House Rules Committee meeting Tuesday evening.

“We have already deposed former Attorney General Bill Barr, the Department of Justice provided nearly 34,000 pages of documents and will produce more, which are being made public as we speak.”

Among the files are videos reportedly showing the inside of Epstein’s Palm Beach residence, along with transcripts of a recent DOJ interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate who is serving a prison sentence.

The materials have been uploaded to the Oversight Committee’s official website.

Each file in this Epstein release is literally ONE SINGLE PAGE.

So over 33 THOUSAND individual files

And they’re image files.

Very difficult for the public to review.

Either nobody in our government is competent, or they were intentionally making this difficult.

The timing of the release coincides with a push from Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), who are backing a discharge petition that would bypass traditional House procedure to force a vote on releasing all Epstein records.

The maneuver, rarely successful, requires the signatures of a majority of House members.

Massie told Fox News earlier in the week that he believes the petition could gain enough support. “I think there’s a real good chance of that,” he said.

Comer has pushed back on the effort, calling it unnecessary given the committee’s ongoing progress.

“We’re going to go beyond it. We’re already getting the documents from the administration,” he said.

“I don’t think [the discharge petition is] necessary at all.”

The Oversight Committee’s probe has extended beyond the DOJ.

In addition to deposing former Attorney General Barr, the panel has issued subpoenas to former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, ex-FBI Director James Comey, former President Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Current Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed motions to release sealed grand jury materials related to Epstein, though federal judges in Florida and New York have denied those requests.

A third request remains pending in New York.

The committee’s investigation has unfolded as Democrats have increasingly sought to highlight Epstein’s connections.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has reportedly encouraged members of his caucus to attempt to tie President Donald Trump to Epstein, Axios reported.

Epstein, however, was banned from Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort in the early 2000s after inappropriate behavior with a minor staffer.

Both Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre have stated that Trump was not involved in Epstein’s criminal activity.

The president is also engaged in ongoing litigation against the Wall Street Journal over a report alleging he once sent a lewd note and poem to Epstein more than two decades ago.

Trump’s legal team has stated that the claims are false, and the outlet has reportedly indicated a willingness to settle the case.

The House is expected to vote later this week on whether to formalize the Oversight Committee’s investigation, a step that could lead to even broader disclosures from the DOJ.

With thousands of pages already released and additional testimony and records expected, the committee’s effort marks the most extensive congressional inquiry into Epstein and his associates to date.
