Rep. James Comer has publicly stated that Rep. Hakeem Jeffries solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein in 2013, several years after Epstein’s conviction on sex charges. Comer alleges that an email exists showing Democratic fundraisers extended an invitation to Epstein to either attend an event or meet privately with Jeffries. He made these claims on X (formerly Twitter) and has signaled that the Oversight Committee intends to investigate the matter thoroughly, as seen in his shared Tweet and statement.
Comer stated that he supports “full transparency.” According to him, the Oversight Committee’s objective is “to get the truth to the American people and to get justice for the victims”. The implications of Jeffries’ potential involvement with Epstein are under scrutiny, especially in light of renewed attention to Epstein’s network and activities.
