The Justice Department has agreed to hand over a cache of Jeffrey Epstein files to Congress within the next few days, a key congressional lawmaker has revealed.
The first tranche of Epstein-related materials are to be given to the House Oversight Committee starting Friday, Rep. James Comer said.
“There are many records in DOJ’s custody, and it will take the Department time to produce all the records and ensure the identification of victims and any child sexual abuse material are redacted,” Comer, the Republican committee chair, said in a statement.
“I appreciate the Trump Administration’s commitment to transparency and efforts to provide the American people with information about this matter.”
The move comes just weeks after the committee subpoenaed the DOJ in a bid to demand access to any files tied to the late pedophile and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for helping lure teenage girls for him to sexually abuse.
In addition to the case files, the House committee’s subpoena also sought records about any communications between President Joe Biden’s administration and the DOJ regarding Epstein.
