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.
But Republicans and Democrats alike said the files contained little new information, and it is unclear if the justice department is withholding other Epstein records.
Pressure has been growing from President Donald Trump's own supporters for more transparency on the probe into the well-connected financier after the justice department said in July there was no incriminating Epstein client list.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican, ordered the documents to be published online on Tuesday.
The Republican-led panel received the files after issuing a legal summons to the Department of Justice last month.
But Comer, a Kentucky congressman, acknowledged there was little fresh information.
As far as I can see, there's nothing new in the documents, he told NBC News.
The videos released on Tuesday include footage from outside Epstein's New York jail cell on the night of his death.
It includes 13 hours and 41 seconds of video from the facility covering the evening of 9 August to the morning of 10 August 2019, when Epstein died.
This is two hours more of video than what the justice department released two months ago.
But the newly released footage lacks the so-called missing minute — a jump in the timecode between 23:00 and 00:00, according to CBS.
Attorney General Pam Bondi previously asserted that the missing minute was just the jail's camera system resetting each night.
However, the apparent anomaly had fueled conspiracy theories about the official finding that Epstein died by suicide.
The convicted pedophile had once hobnobbed with some of society's elite, including Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and British royal Prince Andrew.
The tranche of documents also includes several clips from 2006 showing interviews with individuals who claimed to be victims of Epstein’s abuse.
Their faces are blurred, and names removed from the audio as they detail alleged sexual abuse while they were hired for massages.
Other videos display bodycam footage from police in Palm Beach, Florida, as they search a home owned by Epstein.
Some documents date back 20 years, covering an initial criminal investigation into Epstein launched by Palm Beach police.
However, Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, stated that 97% of the documents received from the Department of Justice were already public.
He asserted, There is no mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for victims.
Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lee noted that the only new disclosure was flight logs by US Customs and Border Protection detailing Epstein’s travels to his private island in the US Virgin Islands.
The release came after backbench Republican Thomas Massie pushed for a bipartisan effort to mandate the justice department to publish all of its Epstein files within 30 days.
Earlier on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson and members of the oversight committee met with six Epstein victims behind closed doors.
Johnson mentioned that there were tears in the room and acknowledged the emotional gravity of hearing the victims’ stories.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace appeared visibly affected after the meeting.
Democrat Melanie Stansbury praised the survivors for speaking out and labeled the case a cover-up of epic proportions.
A news conference is scheduled for Wednesday involving lawmakers and Epstein's victims.
