2:43Now PlayingThe Trump administration will begin handing over documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's case to the House Oversight Committee on Friday, Chair James Comer, R-Ky., said.
House investigators originally requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) produce a tranche of files pertaining to the late pedophile and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, by 12 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19.
It's part of a wider bipartisan investigation into the handling of Epstein's case, which has also reached several former attorneys general, FBI directors, and former first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Comer announced Monday afternoon that he would delay the deadline until Friday in light of the DOJ's cooperation.
"Officials with the Department of Justice have informed us that the Department will begin to provide Epstein-related records to the Oversight Committee this week on Friday. There are many records in DOJ’s custody, and it will take the Department time to produce all the records and ensure the identification of victims and any child sexual abuse material are redacted," Comer said in a statement.
"I appreciate the Trump administration’s commitment to transparency and efforts to provide the American people with information about this matter."
Comer told reporters earlier Monday that his panel was having "good conversations" with the DOJ related to document production but was noncommittal when asked if the Aug. 19 goal would be met.
"You can imagine how many documents there are," Comer said. "I think we'll receive the documents very soon. They're compiling everything together."
Comer said the DOJ was cooperating "in a good faith effort."
