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 after issuing a legal summons to the Department of Justice last month.


Comer acknowledged the lack of fresh information, stating: As far as I can see, there's nothing new in the documents. The newly released videos include 13 hours and 41 seconds of footage from outside Epstein's New York jail cell on the night of his death, spanning the evening of August 9 to the morning of August 10, 2019.


However, critics noted that this footage did not include the so-called missing minute—a gap between 23:00 and 00:00, which has fueled conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death.


Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lee pointed out that the only new information was the flight logs showing Epstein's travel to his private island in the US Virgin Islands. Attorney General Pam Bondi previously stated that the missing minute was simply a result of the jail's camera system resetting.


In a pointed remark, Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, asserted that 97% of the released documents were already public and there was no client list to improve transparency or justice for victims.


As the dialogues continue, victims and advocates express their frustrations toward what many perceive as a cover-up regarding Epstein’s elite connections. Lawmakers and survivors are set to hold a press conference to further prompt Congress for action in pursuit of true transparency and justice.
