House panel to make Epstein files public after redactions to protect victim identities

The Justice Department will start delivering hundreds of subpoenaed records on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, with redactions to protect victims, amid bipartisan congressional scrutiny.

  • This week, the Department of Justice will begin providing Epstein-related records to the House Oversight Committee on Friday, which Chairman James Comer described as a `good faith effort`.
  • After issuing a subpoena on Aug. 5, Chairman James Comer pressed the U.S. Department of Justice following last month's DOJ and FBI announcement that no further disclosure was warranted.
  • The committee's subpoena seeks all DOJ documents on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including prosecutions, the Florida non-prosecution agreement, and Epstein's death, with piecemeal, victim-redacted records due Friday.
  • The arrival of files fuels bipartisan calls for transparency as Chairman James Comer vows to review them swiftly while safeguarding victims of Epstein's crimes.
  • The arrangement signals protracted negotiations with U.S. Department of Justice , which had earlier declared the case closed after an exhaustive review affirming Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and no 'client list' exists.
