The United States House of Representatives published more than 33,000 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, the late magnate convicted of sexual abuse, which were supplied by the Department of Justice.
The publication was made by the Supervision and Reform Committee of the House of Representatives and was classified as the first part of a series of publications made public, after political agreements to seek to transparent the archives of the case.
“There are more documents on the way,” the President of the Committee, Republican Senator James Eat, told American media, after announcing the decision to free them.
Of the 33,295 published pages, it is considered that only 3% of the documents are new and the rest is already a public domain.
“Less than 1% of the archives have been published, the Department of Justice is obstructing,” said Representative Ro Khanna, from California, shortly after the delivery of the records.

The Epstein case has been at the center of American politics in recent months. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said during the last electoral campaign that he would publish an alleged list of clients of the tycoon, but once in power he has been more restrained.
This hermeticism stirred the bases of followers of the president, after in July the Department of Justice affirmed that no more information about Epstein was going to be published.
In parallel, Epstein’s ex -partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, who turns a twenty -year -old sentence in prison for facilitating minor girls to the tycoon, recently met with department officials and pointed out that his ex -partner did not have a list of famous clients.
The Department of Justice published last August two interrogations to which the general vice -fiscal, Todd Blanche, submitted Ghislaine Maxwell last July in relation to the case. In those interrogations Maxwell indicated that he does not believe that Epstein would commit suicide in prison.
