More than 33,000 pages of records related to Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell were uploaded to a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform website after being handed over by the Justice Department.

“We're in the process of uploading those documents for full transparency so everyone in America can see those documents,’ Republican committee chairman James Comer said.

“It's going as quick as we can get them uploaded,” Mr Comer told reporters. “We want those to be public as soon as possible”
