US EditionDOJ Turns over First Batch of Epstein Files to Oversight Panel, Releases Maxwell Interview
The Justice Department will release Epstein-related files to Congress after bipartisan pressure, with the House Oversight Committee set to review and protect sensitive victim information.
- On August 22, 2025, the Justice Department began delivering thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related materials, including the transcript and audio of Ghislaine Maxwell's interview, to the House Oversight Committee.
- This release follows months of bipartisan pressure and subpoenas issued by Committee Chairman James Comer amid public tensions over transparency in Epstein investigations.
- Maxwell, who is currently incarcerated with a 20-year term for her involvement in sex trafficking, used the interview to defend President Trump, stating she had never observed him behaving improperly nor heard any allegations against him.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said all words are included except victims' names and stressed Maxwell risks perjury for falsehoods, while thousands of pages of records are planned for review and redaction before public release.
- The document turnover marks a significant step in congressional oversight that may clarify Epstein-related facts, although public interest appears to be decreasing and debates over full transparency continue.
