More than 33,000 pages of records related to the notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released by the US House oversight committee on Tuesday.

According to Ro Khanna, a Democrat on the committee, 97 per cent of the documents were already in the public domain.

The committee subpoenaed Donald Trump’s department of justice (DoJ) for the documents, but Mr Khanna accused the department, which turned over the first batch of records last month, of stonewalling.

“Only 3 per cent of the documents given to the Oversight Committee are new,” he said.

“The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1 per cent of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.”

Thousands of pages of documents related to the Epstein investigation have been released previously.

The House committee said in a statement that it expects to receive more records from the DoJ and they are being redacted to protect “victim identities” and remove “any child sexual abuse material”.
