We are uploading these documents for full transparency so that everyone in the USA can see them, says the committee's chairman, Republican James Comer.
It is not yet clear how much new information the documents contain, but according to Democrat Robert Garcia, who sits on the committee, it is largely about things that were already publicly known.
"After careful review, the Democrats on the oversight committee have found that 97 percent of the documents received from the Justice Department were already public. There is no mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for the victims," he says in a statement, according to CNN.
Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. According to the coroner, the cause of death is suicide, but his death is surrounded by several conspiracy theories. Epstein, according to the authorities, exposed underage girls to hundreds of sexual assaults.
