The Department of Justice will begin providing records to Congress related to the deceased Trump associate and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, according to the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
“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,” Rep. James Comer, Republican of Kentucky, said in a statement on X on Monday. “I appreciate the Trump Administration’s commitment to transparency and efforts to provide the American people with information about this matter.”
The Justice Department was facing a Tuesday deadline to comply with a subpoena from the committee, which began seeking the records earlier this month.
The Trump administration has been facing rare bipartisan pressure amid anger that it hasn’t done more to disclose information about the late financier, after campaigning on promises of more transparency surrounding the Epstein files.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
