- House Oversight Chair James Comer says pervasive conspiracy theories could make the panel’s findings “like the Warren Report,” predicting many will not believe the outcome.
- President Trump last week signed a bill requiring release of Epstein-related documents, with exceptions to protect victims and ongoing investigations.
- Comer has subpoenaed financial records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank and requested additional materials from the U.S. Virgin Islands attorney general.
- Ghislaine Maxwell has declined to cooperate with committee interviews, and the age of many allegations further complicates evidence gathering.
- Comer cautions that producing an “Epstein list” may be impossible without victim-provided names, as Republican tensions over the disclosure push continue to surface.
