A congressional panel in the U.S. has released a massive collection of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, sparking discussions about transparency and accountability.

The House Oversight Committee has made public 33,295 pages of documents concerning the investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein, including flight logs, court filings, and surveillance videos. However, the release has garnered criticism for lacking new information, and questions remain about potential withheld records. Lawmakers continue to advocate for greater transparency regarding Epstein's connections and the implications of the investigation.

A US congressional panel has released a trove of documents related to the federal investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The House of Representatives Oversight Committee published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings, and emails. However, both Republican and Democratic members noted that the files provided little new information, raising concerns over whether the justice department is withholding crucial records.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican, ordered the documents to be published after issuing a legal summons to the Department of Justice. He acknowledged that there was nothing new in the documents, although newly released video footage includes 13 hours from outside Epstein's jail cell covering the night of his death in August 2019.

The release has renewed pressure from President Donald Trump's supporters for transparency. Some flight logs showing Epstein's travel to his private island were highlighted as the only significant new disclosure. Meanwhile, conversations continue around Epstein's connections to powerful figures and the implications of the investigation.

Lawmakers and victims are demanding accountability, with plans for a news conference on Capitol Hill. The public outcry reflects ongoing concerns about justice and transparency in the handling of Epstein's case, as many believe significant information remains hidden.
