House Oversight Committee releases Epstein records provided by DOJ
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records that were provided by the U.S. Department of Justice.
On Aug. 5, Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., issued a subpoena for records related to Jeffrey Epstein, and the Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material.
Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said the DOJ “has indicated it will continue producing records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and child abuse material.”
The Tuesday night records drop comes nearly a month after the committee issued subpoenas for key government officials, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as part of a congressional investigation into the well-connected financier and sex offender Epstein.
The issued subpoenas include the Clintons, former FBI Director James Comey, former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as part of the House investigation on the “oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafficking laws” and the “handling of the investigation and prosecution” of Epstein and close confidant Ghislane Maxwell.
While speaking to reporters Tuesday evening, Comer said the subpoena list had been expanded to include former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who struck a plea deal for Epstein in 2008.
Comer indicated that more individuals will be subpoenaed as part of the investigation.
