US EditionHouse Oversight Committee Democrats say most Epstein files turned over by DOJ were already public
The Justice Department provided 33,295 pages to the House Oversight Committee, with only 3% containing new information; the majority had been publicly available, officials said.
- On Friday, the Justice Department began sending 33,295 pages of material to the House Oversight Committee, meeting the committee's demand for records by Aug. 19.
- Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department for Epstein-related files and communications with former Biden administration officials amid transparency pressure, with release timing unclear.
- Top Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia said 97% of the pages had information previously released, with only 3% of the documents given to the Oversight Committee containing new material.
- The committee has not publicly released the files and intends to do so after thoroughly reviewing 34,000 pages to redact victims' identities and sensitive material.
- House Republican leaders still appear likely to face a bipartisan effort early next month to force a floor vote, while a Justice Department spokesperson said the material was only the first batch of documents, with more to come.
