THOUSANDS of records related to notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been unleashed on the public by the US Government.
The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday posted a staggering 33,295 pages of material handed over by the Justice Department after a subpoena from chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).

The files cover Epstein’s sprawling sex-trafficking network and his partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell.
The trove includes old court filings, police bodycam footage of searches, and interviews with victims — their faces blurred to protect identities.
Much of it has been seen before, but the sheer scale of the release is unprecedented.
Pressure is now mounting on Congress to go further.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing a bill that would force the DOJ to release the full Epstein files — minus victims’ personal details.
Speaker Mike Johnson is under fire for trying to stall the move, even as he and other members met with survivors this week.
The Oversight Committee said it’s still digging through the files and more could follow.
“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 panel confirmed.
The explosive dump is already stoking speculation over who and what might be exposed as fresh eyes comb through Epstein’s secret world.
It comes as fresh claims are emerging from the cache.
One revelation reportedly points to Prince Andrew keeping in touch with Epstein five years longer than he has publicly admitted.
The Duke of York has long insisted he cut ties with Epstein after visiting him in New York in December 2010.
But according to messages dated December 2015, allegedly between Epstein and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, Andrew was named as the source of information about a potential business opportunity in China.
Royal watchers believe the new twist could sink any faint hopes of rehabilitation.
Author Phil Dampier said: “I believe Andrew thought he could make a comeback.
“But this is the nail in the coffin.”
