The House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, has released a massive trove of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier whose criminal activities shocked the world. On Tuesday, the committee unveiled 33,295 pages of records obtained from the Department of Justice. This release comes as part of an ongoing investigation into Epstein’s connections with various high-profile individuals.
Chairman James Comer from Kentucky announced the release and mentioned that the committee is looking into several notable figures, including former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. Acosta was involved in a controversial plea deal with Epstein back in 2008. Comer expressed the committee’s commitment to uncovering the truth and providing transparency to the public, especially for the victims of Epstein’s crimes.
Comer also thanked the White House for its cooperation in making these documents available. He emphasized that the committee plans to gather more information and has already subpoenaed several prominent individuals, including former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Additionally, the committee intends to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, who was closely associated with Epstein.
Maxwell recently gave an interview to the Department of Justice, where she supported some of the department’s findings regarding Epstein’s case. She stated that she never witnessed any inappropriate behavior from men around Epstein, including Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. Maxwell described Trump as "cordial" and expressed admiration for his presidency.
The committee’s efforts to expose the full extent of Epstein’s network and hold accountable those involved continue to unfold, as they aim to shed light on this dark chapter in history.
