The House Oversight Committee will be given access next week to unredacted versions of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, MSNBC reported.
The documents are expected to include the original version of the birthday book, flight logs, phone logs/message pads, and records of financial transactions, a source told Lisa Rubin, a legal correspondent for MSNBC.
Redactions will only be made to protect the identities and identifying details of known and potential victims, not any other third parties, such as male friends and associates of the New York financier and convicted sex offender, Rubin reported.
On Tuesday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform publicly posted the files it received from the Department of Justice on the sex trafficking investigations into Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
The folders contained hundreds of image files of years-old court filings related to Epstein and Maxwell. They also contained video files appearing to be body-cam footage from police searches, as well as law enforcement interviews with victims whose faces were obscured.
The DOJ released the files to the committee in response to a subpoena, but the files mostly contain information that was already publicly known.
The files released Tuesday included audio of an Epstein employee describing to a law enforcement official how "there were a lot of girls that were very, very young" visiting the home but he could not say for sure if they were minors.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
