First wave of Epstein files is being sent to Congress, says Oversight Committee chair

(NPR) The House Oversight Committee is expecting to get hundreds of documents on Friday related to the Justice Department's investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The release will mark the first wave of files to be sent to the committee in response to a congressional subpoena issued earlier this month calling on the DOJ to provide records from its probe of the convicted sex-offender and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has said at least some of those files will eventually be made public.

"We're going to be transparent. We're doing what we said we would do. We're getting the documents," Comer told reporters on Capitol Hill this week. "And I believe the White House will work with us."
