Stansbury: oversight committee pressing DOJ for Epstein files; estate produced records, Congresswoman says
Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury told a Rio Rancho audience that House oversight investigators have subpoenaed records related to Jeffrey Epstein and that records provided by the estate — including flight logs, calendars and other materials — had been turned over to investigators. "Even just 2 weeks ago, they sent us a bunch of flight logs, personal records, calendars," Stansbury said.

Stansbury, who said she sits on the oversight committee, said DOJ had not fully complied with congressional subpoenas and that criminal files held by the Department of Justice were distinct from materials produced by Epstein's estate. "DOJ has the criminal files," she said, adding that those files include sworn statements and government investigative materials not in the estate release.

During the town hall Stansbury identified several names she said appeared in the records she had seen. "It's clear that many of the president's closest allies are all over the files, including people like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon," she said. She described ongoing investigations into whether officials improperly interfered with earlier investigations and subpoena compliance.

When asked directly about whether the president was implicated, Stansbury said: "He is implicated. There's absolutely no question whatsoever," and said survivors' accounts and documents had motivated continued committee work.

Stansbury told attendees that the cover-up surrounding Epstein-era investigations involved law-enforcement officials and prosecutors, and that oversight work aims to determine whether prosecutorial and investigative decisions were lawful. She urged survivors and people with information to come forward to investigators and noted that some materials are subject to criminal-file protections held by DOJ.

Ending: Stansbury said oversight and court processes were the primary means to obtain files that lawmakers and survivors say are needed for accountability and that committee work would continue while the courts address enforcement of subpoenas.
