Over 33,000 pages of documents from the Epstein files have been released following pressure on the US government to disclose what they know about the convicted sex offender.
The House of Representatives Oversight Committee has published 33,295 pages on Jeffrey Epstein with emails, flight logs and court filings among them.
There's also audio recordings of an employee of Epstein saying 'a lot of girls that were very, very young' visited his home and a new version of the CCTV outside Epstein's cell on the night he died which has two more hours of footage than before but still doesn't contain the 'missing minute'.

Also included is bodycam footage of police searching Epstein's home which shows his walls were covered in pictures of women, some of them naked, along with images of his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell appearing to meet Pope John Paul II.
However, this document release has been criticised for containing 'nothing new' as US politicians argued that much of what was in this huge amount of documents were things that had already been made public.
Footage from inside Epstein's home shows a number of offices, including a computer with a note saying 'do not touch' attached to it.
Democrat politician Robert Garcia, who is part of the House Oversight Committee, criticised the lack of new information in the document release and claimed that almost all of this information was already available to the public.

He said: "To the American people – don't let this fool you.
"After careful review, Oversight Democrats have found that 97 percent of the documents received from the Department of Justice were already public.
"There is no mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for victims."
Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in 2019 with his death ruled as a suicide.
That verdict has been controversial ever since as the conspiracy theory he was killed in his prison cell before he could name names has persisted ever since.

Attempts to demonstrate that nobody could have got into his cell that night have only really poured fuel on the fire thanks to the 'missing minute', which officials claim is a standard part of the CCTV system resetting each night.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend and also a convicted sex offender, was recently interviewed in prison before she was moved to a low-risk facility in Texas.
She has insisted that there is no 'list' which contains the names of Epstein's clients, this list is what many believe would be a smoking gun in the Epstein case where high profile figures who were involved with the paedophile would have their part in the matter revealed.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi previously appeared to claim that such a list was 'sitting on her desk' and just waiting to be published before those claims were walked back and the official version of events is that there is no such client list to release.

Bondi's spokesperson later clarified she was referring to the overall documents on Epstein, and not a client list in particular.
