US EditionHouse panel to make Epstein files public after redactions to protect victim identities
The Justice Department will begin delivering documents on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the House Oversight Committee, following bipartisan subpoenas and ongoing investigations.
- The Justice Department will begin delivering documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation to the House Oversight Committee starting Friday, August 23.
- This action follows a subpoena issued earlier in August demanding records about Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and related investigations, amid bipartisan scrutiny and recent closed-door depositions.
- Committee Chair James Comer emphasized the large volume of records requiring time to redact victim identities and child abuse material before release and praised the Trump administration’s commitment to transparency.
- Epstein, a wealthy financier arrested in 2019, died by suicide while awaiting trial, and Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for conspiring to sexually abuse minors and is serving a 20-year sentence.
- The forthcoming document release aims to enhance congressional oversight of sex trafficking prosecutions, though legal challenges and redactions will likely affect full disclosure.
