Videos: 33,000+ Epstein files released

The House Oversight Committee released 33,295 pages of documents pertaining to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday. The Epstein documents were provided to the House Oversight Committee by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department.

In a Tuesday press release, the House Oversight Committee announced that it was releasing “33,295 pages of Epstein-related records that were provided by the U.S. Department of Justice.” 

“On August 5, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena for records related to Mr. 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,” the press release added.

According to The Post Millennial, one of the documents released by the House Oversight Committee indicates that roughly nine days before Epstein’s mysterious death, the child sex offender and disgraced financier did “not appear to be an immediate danger to self.” 

Sharing an update on the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Epstein files, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters on Tuesday that the committee plans to expand its list of subpoenas to include individuals such as former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who worked to negotiate a plea deal with Epstein in 2008, according to The Daily Wire.

“We’re gonna continue to bring in more people. We learned of some additional names today,” Comer told reporters. “We’re gonna do everything we can to give the American public the transparency they seek, as well as provide accountability in memory of the victims who have already passed away, as well as those that were in the room, and many others who haven’t come forward.”

Addressing the cooperation between the House Oversight Committee and the Trump administration, Comer said, “The White House is working with us. I wanna publicly thank the White House for turning over so many documents thus far.”

As part of Tuesday’s document release, the House Oversight Committee released the missing one-minute surveillance video from outside Epstein’s jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. The new video does not appear to show any suspicious activity. 

The House Oversight Committee’s release of tens of thousands of pages of Epstein documents comes after the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a joint memorandum, stating, “After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019.” The memorandum also claimed that Epstein did not have an “incriminating ‘client list’” and did not blackmail powerful political figures.
