House Oversight Committee Democrats are expressing disappointment with the Justice Department's recent Epstein document release. Representatives Ro Khanna and Summer Lee reported that only a small fraction of the files contain new information, with the majority being previously available public records.

The genuinely new material consists of fewer than 1,000 pages from Customs and Border Protection, including Epstein's flight logs from 2000-2014. Other provided documents include already-released materials such as correctional facility video footage, DOJ inspector general reports, and court documents from related cases.

The committee continues reviewing 34,000 pages and plans public release after protecting sensitive information and victim identities.
