Comer Confronts Jeffries Over 2013 Epstein Fundraising Email as GOP Releases Estate Files

Jeffries rejects any link to Epstein, with no donation records tying Epstein to his campaign.

Overview

  • House Oversight Republicans say they posted more than 30,000 pages from the Jeffrey Epstein estate after obtaining the records by subpoena.
  • Chairman James Comer read on the House floor a May 2013 solicitation sent to Epstein describing a DCCC/DSCC dinner and offering a chance to "get to know Hakeem better."
  • The solicitation was sent by fundraisers working for Jeffries’ campaign, and Republicans argue it shows Epstein was asked for support.
  • Hakeem Jeffries says he never met Epstein, denies soliciting him, and calls Comer a "stone-cold liar," adding he does not recall the email.
  • ABC News reports no public records show donations from Epstein to Jeffries or affiliated committees, and Comer says the inquiry will continue with subpoenas to JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and the U.S. Virgin Islands attorney general.
