A U.S. Congressional panel released a series of documents related to a federal investigation into late-stage sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The House Oversight Committee has published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, prison surveillance videos, court documents, audio recordings and emails.

But Republicans and Democrats say there is little new information about the documents and it is unclear whether the Justice Department keeps other Epstein records.

The pressure from Donald Trump’s own supporters has been growing from Donald Trump’s own supporters to increase transparency to well-connected financiers after the Justice Department said in July that there were no “crimes”.

James Comer, chairman of the Republicans’ oversight committee, ordered the documents to be released online on Tuesday.

The Republican-led group received the files after sending legal subpoena to the Justice Department last month.

But Kentucky State Councilor Comer admitted that there was little new information.

“As far as I know, there is nothing new in the document,” he told NBC News.

Videos released Tuesday included videos from outside the New York prison cell at Epstein when he died.

It includes 13 hours and 41 seconds of video covering August 9 to August 10, 2019 when Epstein died.

That’s two hours more than the video released by the Justice Department two months ago.

However, according to the BBC’s U.S. partner CBS, the newly released video does not include the so-called “missing minutes” – a jump between 23:00 and 00:00.

Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously said that “Minutes of Disappearance” were just a nightly reset of the camera system in the prison.

However, the obvious abnormality has inspired conspiracy theories about the formal discovery of Epstein’s suicide death.

A set of documents also includes several clips from 2006, showing interviews with people who said they were Epstein’s victims.

Their faces are blurred and their names are removed from the audio as they talk about sexual abuse when they are accused of having massages.

Other videos show human-person videos of police officers in Palm Beach, Florida, searching for homes belonging to Epstein.

Some of these documents date back to 20 years and cover the initial criminal investigation of Epstein initiated by the Palm Beach Police Department.

But Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement: “To the American people – don’t let this deceive you.

“After a careful review, oversight Democrats found that 97% of the documents received from the Justice Department have been made public.

“No mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for victims.”

Democratic congresswoman Summer Lee said the “only new disclosure” was a flight log taken by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which shows Epstein’s trip to and from his private island trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The press release comes backstage in the backstage Republican rebel Congressman Thomas Massie was ahead of schedule Tuesday, with bipartisan efforts to force the House to vote on a bill requiring the Justice Department to release all of its Epstein’s files within 30 days.

“People want to release these documents. I mean, look, this is not the biggest problem in the country.

“It’s taxes, work, economy, these are big issues. But if this place is corrupt, you really can’t solve any problems.”

Earlier Tuesday, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and members of the oversight committee met with six Epstein victims behind closed doors.

Trump ally Johnson then told reporters they heard “tears in the room” from the Epstein victims.

Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican congresswoman, appears to have left the meeting.

Democrat Melanie Stansbury praised survivors for speaking out and described the case as “covering epic proportions.”

Epstein’s lawmakers and victims plan to hold a press conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
