The US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has dropped a bombshell by releasing tens of thousands of documents linked to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, following mounting pressure on the Trump administration.
In a stunning development, the committee revealed it had secured a massive 33,295 pages of Epstein-related files from the Department of Justice, sending ripples of shock across Washington, according to ABC.
"On August 5, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena for records related to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, and the Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material," the committee announced in a statement. The news comes as Trump's announcement was reported in FULL amid concerns about US President's health.
The enormous document release arrives as the Trump administration frantically attempts to manage the backlash from its contentious decision last month to stop the publication of further Epstein materials - a decision that ignited outrage amongst MAGA supporters calling for transparency, reports the Express.

Nevertheless, Democratic committee members have dampened expectations, insisting the overwhelming bulk of the released papers are already accessible to the public.
California Representative Ro Khanna has claimed that an enormous 97% of the documents are already publicly accessible, with merely 3% containing truly fresh revelations. Epstein's mysterious 'client list' enigma grows deeper.
The document release has reignited fevered speculation about Epstein's supposed "client list" - a fabled catalogue of A-list stars and political heavyweights that has become the ultimate prize for conspiracy theorists and right-wing commentators.
Epstein, who possessed a private island retreat in the U.S. Virgin Islands, has long been suspected of keeping meticulous files on his influential connections prior to taking his own life behind bars in 2019.
Right-wing personalities have consistently and without foundation claimed that officials are deliberately hiding this bombshell material from public view.
FBI deals crushing setback to conspiracy advocates
In a hammer blow to conspiracy believers, the Justice Department and FBI revealed in July that thorough probes had found no proof that Epstein ever kept such a client register.
The disclosure emerged after various senior figures, prior to entering the present government, had themselves previously claimed authorities were suppressing vital details in the Epstein affair.
Heart-wrenching moments as Epstein survivors encounter politicians at Westminster's equivalent.
In deeply moving scenes at the political heart of power, the House Oversight Committee conducted an intensely emotional session with survivors of the fallen tycoon following MPs' return from their month-long recess, reports the Mirror US. In a startling development, Ghislaine Maxwell, the disgraced socialite and convicted associate of Epstein, was also in attendance at the crucial gathering.
The courageous survivors confronted politicians directly, pleading with Congress to act decisively in exposing further incriminating material connected to the Epstein affair, who died in a New York detention facility in what appeared to be suicide in 2019.
Republican politician flees meeting in tears after panic attack
The session took a dramatic turn when Republican Representative Nancy Mace, who is campaigning for South Carolina governor, was compelled to exit the room prematurely and was seen departing whilst crying, declining to respond to questions from assembled journalists.
In an remarkable public admission, Mace subsequently posted on X to clarify her distressing early exit, stating: "Since it's already being reported - Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early.
"As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can't breathe."
