"For the past few months, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has engaged in a sprawling and extremely public investigation of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Keeping track of it all can be hard even for the sharpest observers. While initial public interest in what Epstein-related documents the federal government has focused on investigative files held by the Department of Justice, the Oversight Committee's inquiry expands far past that."
"In some cases, those entities were instructed to send separate copies of the same documents to both Democrats and Republicans on the Committee. Those lawmakers have released their own selections of documents to the public, sometimes on the same day and sometimes consisting of overlapping sets of pages. These releases have varied in format, from screenshots of multiple emails stitched together into a single PDF file, to a Google Drive link containing a 30,000-page dump still in an e-discovery format."
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee conducted a wide-ranging public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, issuing subpoenas and letters to the Department of Justice, the US Treasury Department, the Attorney General of the US Virgin Islands, the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein, and multiple banks. Some recipients were ordered to send duplicate document sets to both Democratic and Republican committee members, and members released overlapping selections of pages. Public document releases appeared in multiple formats, from stitched email screenshots to a 30,000-page Google Drive e-discovery dump. The Department of Justice received court approvals to unseal grand jury materials and is expected to release additional documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
