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.

Both Republicans and Democrats have expressed disappointment, noting that the files provide little new information, and concerns linger about whether the justice department is holding back additional Epstein records.

Pressure for more transparency has been mounting from supporters of President Donald Trump after the justice department indicated there was no 'incriminating' client list involving Epstein.

Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican, admitted during an NBC News interview that the documents shared contained no significant new insights.

Among the new evidence released are videos, including footage from Epstein's New York jail cell on the night of his death, which cover the period from the evening of August 9 to the morning of August 10, 2019—although the footage notably omits the 'missing minute' that fueled conspiracy theories around Epstein's widely reported suicide.

The body of evidence also includes interviews with alleged victims dating back to 2006 and documentation from earlier investigations into Epstein.

Democratic views suggest that a substantial portion of the documents was already public knowledge, with calls to both improve transparency and ensure justice for Epstein's victims growing louder following the release.

Fresh discussions and a press conference regarding Epstein's case, currently involving lawmakers and victims, are anticipated in the coming days, highlighting the ongoing quest for accountability in this complex saga.
