The House Oversight Committee has released 33,000 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. This release occurred on Tuesday and follows a subpoena issued to the Department of Justice. Epstein, a financier with high-profile connections, faced sex trafficking charges before his death in federal custody in 2019, which has sparked ongoing public interest and speculation.

The GOP-led committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, had previously requested these records from the Justice Department. The documents are now available through an online archive. The committee indicated that more records may be forthcoming from the Executive Branch.

In a statement, the committee noted that the Justice Department will continue to produce records while ensuring the protection of victim identities and the redaction of any child sexual abuse material. This move comes as some lawmakers are urging the Trump administration to provide additional information regarding the criminal investigation into Epstein.

Earlier on the same day, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky attempted to compel the House to vote on a bill that would require the Justice Department to release its Epstein files within 30 days. The committee's actions are part of a broader effort to uncover more details surrounding Epstein's activities and the circumstances of his death.

In August, the House Oversight Committee had also subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein, in an effort to obtain her testimony while she is incarcerated. President Donald Trump, who had a long-standing relationship with Epstein, directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any relevant grand jury testimony, pending court approval.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in custody while awaiting trial on serious charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide, but it has led to numerous conspiracy theories and calls for further investigation.
