House Republicans release the first tranche of Epstein files
The Justice Department delivered its first trove of files to Congress last month, after the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the department for the files.
House Republicans on Tuesday night released the first group of files related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which primarily includes information already publicly released.
The Justice Department delivered its first trove of files to Congress last month, after the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the department for the files. But the committee took over a week to review the 33,000 files, per Politico.
"This is the most thorough investigation into Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell to date, and we are getting results," House Oversight Chairman James Comer said during a House Rules Committee meeting on Tuesday evening, Fox News reported.
"We have already deposed former Attorney General Bill Barr, the Department of Justice provided nearly 34,000 pages of documents and will produce more, which are being made public as we speak."
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans have faced heavy backlash for the handling of the Epstein case, particularly related to the late financier's alleged "client list," which the administration says does not exist.
House Republicans have promised to work with the Justice Department to protect the identities of Epstein's alleged victims or reveal information that could compromise criminal proceedings.
What is a tranche?
So for all the drama about “Oh they are NOT releasing the files” at the end we are seeing the files. I wont be reading 34,000 pages LOL but let me know if there is anything worthwhile in them
More than one?
Maybe it’s less than a trove?
Fancy word for group, glob, mess, or stack.
A “traunch” (a common misspelling of tranche) is a portion or installment of a larger whole, most often a sum of money, that is divided into segments for disbursement over time. The word comes from the French “tranche,” meaning “slice,” which reflects the idea of cutting a larger thing into smaller pieces.
I hope someone has AI ingest them and tell us what’s in there. (Some fair and unbiased AI like maybe Grok).
Weren’t we reading just this morning that there were going to be several victims interviewed on TV today? Did I dream it?
34,000 pages can be scanned in a day, through a key word search.
Seems....inexact.

They are falling into a trap set by the dems. They never learn.
When Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019, his estate was valued at $577 million, including a portfolio of luxury real estate and over $380 million in cash and investments.
2019 filings valued Epstein’s estate at $577 million, he transferred into a private entity called
“The 1953 Trust” two days before his death. His fortune included significant real estate holdings:
A $50 million townhouse in Manhattan.
A $12 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
A $17 million ranch in New Mexico.
A $8.6 million apartment in Paris.
Two private Caribbean islands, Little St. James and Great St. James, valued at $86 million. Approximately $380 million in cash, equities, and hedge funds.
Since 2019, the estate has paid out over $160 million to sex victims through a compensation program, plus an additional $105 million to settle a lawsuit with the U.S. Virgin Islands. His properties were sold for a total of about $160 million.
Despite these payouts, the estate’s value has been bolstered by a key venture capital investment in Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures. Originally a $40 million stake, its value has increased to as much as $200 million.
In 2025, filings showed the estate’s total assets at about $131 million, including about $50 million in cash. However, these filings list some investments at their 2019 value, understating the total. Recent estimates place the estate’s current value between $150 and $200 million.
Epstein’s trust was created to keep the names of beneficiaries private. While the specific individuals are not publicly known, it is believed they may include his former girlfriend Karyna Shuliak, and his two longtime associates and estate executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. Between his collection of lavish homes, two private Caribbean Islands and nearly $380 million dollars in cash and investments, he was worth $578 million dollars. He generated more than $800 million in revenue between 1999 and 2018 which was sort of the most prolific part of his you know of his activities.

Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier known for his connections with numerous high-profile individuals, including politicians, celebrities, and businessmen ...
Jeffrey Epstein served as billionaire Les Wexner’s personal financial advisor for over two decades, gaining almost limitless power over the billionaire’s finances. Wexner, the CEO of Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands, became Epstein’s primary client and financial benefactor, a relationship that also gave Epstein access to Wexner’s network of homes and companies.
In 1991, Les Wexner formed with billionaire Charles Bronfman the Study Group, more widely known as the Mega Group, a club of the country’s wealthiest and most influential businessmen who were concerned with Jewish issues. Max Fischer, Michael Steinhardt, Leonard Abramson, Edgar Bronfman, and Laurence Tisch were some of the members. The group would meet twice a year for two days of seminars related to the topic of Judaism. The group, which Wexner co-chaired with Charles Bronfman, went on to install a number of philanthropic initiatives such as the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education, Birthright Israel, and the upgrading of national Hillel.
If there was “anything worthwhile” in the released files, you would be confident in concluding they would not have been released!
Tranche?
Sort of like a ditch.
A whole lotta nothin'.
nancy mace left a meeting with them clearly very shaken up...she is a victim of sexual abuse herself
Fancy word though...
Did they include the Treasury Epstein files that are being guarded by the Soros Acolyte?
If not, they are missing a huge piece of the financial puzzle.
