DOJ to Start Handing Over Epstein Files to Congress, House Oversight Committee Leader Says

House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) noted, however, that ‘it will take the Department time to produce all the records.’

A top House Republican said Monday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has agreed to hand over documents from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

“There are many records in DOJ’s custody, and it will take the Department time to produce all the records and ensure that the identification of victims and any child sexual abuse material are redacted,” Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the head of the House Oversight Committee, said in a Monday night statement. “I appreciate the Trump Administration’s commitment to transparency and efforts to provide the American people with information about this matter.”

The Epoch Times contacted the DOJ for comment on Tuesday. Comer did not provide more details about when those documents might be released or what materials could be involved.

Earlier this month, Comer sent a subpoena to the DOJ for the Epstein-related records and also issued deposition subpoenas to top-level former officials in the Bush, Clinton, Obama, and Trump administrations “for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein,” coming after the Oversight panel approved motions to subpoena the testimony and those records.

Epstein was found dead in his New York jail cell weeks after his 2019 arrest in what investigators ruled a suicide. His former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted in 2021 of helping to lure teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell at a Florida courthouse over two days last month, and the Justice Department has also sought to unseal grand jury transcripts in the Epstein and Maxwell cases.

Comer noted to reporters that former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr had spoken with lawmakers on Monday.

“What Attorney General Barr testified in there was that he never had conversations with President [Donald] Trump pertaining to a client list, he didn’t know anything about a client list,” Comer told reporters. “He said that he had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump in any of this.”
