House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed the DOJ in early August for all documents pertaining to its investigation of Epstein and Maxwell.
The subpoena was directed by a bipartisan vote during an unrelated House Oversight Committee hearing in late July.
"This is the most thorough investigation into Epstein and Maxwell to date, and we are getting results," Comer said during a House Rules Committee meeting on Tuesday evening.
"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."
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the committee, claimed that some 97% of those documents were already public, however.

But Comer said the committee was "way ahead" of Massie and Khanna's move.
"We're going to go beyond it. We're already getting the documents from the administration," Comer said. "I don't think [the discharge petition is] necessary at all."
In addition to deposing Barr and subpoenaing the DOJ, Comer's panel also sent subpoenas to former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, ex-FBI Director James Comey, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
