Epstein Files Released: 33,000+ Pages Go Public As Oversight Committee Uploads Records
The US House Oversight Committee has made public a massive trove of documents related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On Tuesday, lawmakers announced the release of more than 33,000 pages of records, uploaded online for public access.
What Do the Epstein Files Contain?
“Today, 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,” the committee said in a press statement.
The release follows an August 5 subpoena from Chairman James Comer demanding all Epstein-related material. According to the DOJ, more records will be turned over in the coming weeks, with sensitive details—such as victim identities and child sexual abuse material—redacted.
While the documents are now available, it remains unclear how much new information they reveal about Epstein’s vast network and the handling of his case.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s Testimony About Trump
The document dump comes just days after fresh revelations from Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell. In interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell defended former US President Donald Trump, describing him as “a gentleman in all respects.”
She said she visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida—sometimes alone—and suggested their first meeting may have been around 1990. However, she stressed she had not seen him since the mid-2000s. Asked directly if Epstein or anyone else implied misconduct by Trump, she replied: “Absolutely never, in any context.”
These remarks are at odds with the disturbing testimony heard during Maxwell’s 2021 trial, where four women accused her of recruiting them as teenagers to provide sexual massages for Epstein. Maxwell was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Why Was Maxwell Transferred?
Shortly after her interview with Blanche, Maxwell was quietly transferred from a low-security Florida facility to a prison camp in Texas. The Bureau of Prisons has not provided a reason for the move, though her attorney David Oscar Markus repeated his stance that she was “innocent and never should have been tried, much less convicted.”
Push for Transparency
The release of these records comes as lawmakers on both sides demand greater transparency in the Epstein case. Critics have long argued that prior disclosures were incomplete or deliberately obstructive. By publishing tens of thousands of pages online, the Oversight Committee says it aims to restore public trust and ensure accountability.
For now, the files are available to anyone willing to comb through the 33,000+ pages—though how much they will reveal beyond what is already known remains the key question.
