The House Oversight Committee has released some of the files related to Epstein’s case, though most of the material was not new. The decision comes as Republican leaders urged colleagues against voting to disclose all the material.
Demonstrators called for the release of the Epstein files outside the Capitol in Washington on Tuesday, highlighting the public’s continued interest in the case. The release of the files is part of an ongoing investigation into the allegations against Epstein, who is currently serving a 18-year prison sentence for sex crimes involving minors.
The move by the Oversight Committee is seen as a response to mounting pressure from both political figures and the public. However, Republican leaders have expressed concerns that releasing all the material could lead to political complications. Despite the partial release, the case remains a significant topic of discussion in Washington, with many calling for further transparency and accountability.
