United States House Oversight Committee Releases Over 33,000 Pages of Jeffrey Epstein Case Files; Maxwell Denies Trump Ties

The United States House Oversight Committee has released 33,295 pages of records related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, marking one of the most extensive public disclosures tied to the long-running investigation.

The release follows a formal subpoena issued by Committee Chair James Comer to the Department of Justice earlier this year and is being framed by lawmakers as a step toward greater transparency.

While the volume of material is significant, it remains unclear how much previously undisclosed information is contained in the documents. 

Democratic members of the panel have indicated that the majority of the content may already be in the public domain. Representative Ro Khanna stated that only around three percent of the files are new, while Representative Summer Lee described the material as largely “recycled content,” with the most notable addition being fewer than 1,000 pages of flight log data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The records were released amid ongoing pressure on the Department of Justice to provide unredacted files connected to Epstein’s associates, financial transactions, and flight history. 

Republicans and Democrats on the committee have both called for further disclosure, while maintaining that protections for victims must be preserved. 

Committee leadership said the files were reviewed with redactions already applied by the Justice Department to shield identifying details and sensitive information. Chairman Comer said the panel aimed to avoid releasing anything that could jeopardize the safety or privacy of those affected.

In parallel with the document release, the DOJ also made public the transcript of an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted associate. In the transcript, Maxwell did not implicate any additional individuals in criminal activity and denied any personal involvement in recruiting victims.

She stated that there was no client list and said she never witnessed inappropriate behavior involving former President Donald Trump. Maxwell also expressed skepticism regarding Epstein’s death in prison, saying she did not believe it was a suicide but declined to speculate further.

Although high-profile names appear in the transcript--including Bill Clinton, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Harvey Weinstein--the interview does not contain new allegations or formal charges against any of them. 

DOJ officials said the release was consistent with prior transparency commitments, and that ongoing appeals in Maxwell’s case had been taken into consideration.

It is unclear whether the document release will mark the conclusion of the congressional investigation. 

The Oversight Committee has signaled that it may still seek testimony from current and former public officials, and lawmakers from both parties continue to press the Justice Department for full disclosure of Epstein-related records. 

For now, the release represents the largest coordinated public release of Epstein material to date, with global interest expected to remain high.
