Key committee of US House plans to finally release Epstein’s files
(MENAFN) A key US House committee plans to make certain Justice Department records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein public, a spokesperson said Tuesday. The House Oversight Committee will first review the documents to ensure that victims’ identities and any child sexual abuse material are redacted.
The committee will also coordinate with the Justice Department to prevent the release of information that could affect ongoing criminal investigations. The documents are expected to be obtained later this week following an August subpoena for materials connected to Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking and died in federal custody in 2019.
The committee intends to release the records once the review and redaction process is complete. James Comer, the panel’s chair, noted that the Trump administration will begin turning over documents related to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, also a convicted sex offender, on Friday.
