Hakeem Jeffries Calls James Comer a ‘Relentless Liar’ Following Epstein Claims

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., fired back Wednesday at accusations that he may have dined with Jeffrey Epstein or solicited donations from the disgraced financier.

“He’s an inveterate liar,” Jeffries said of James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

The day before, the House Oversight Committee released a document that appears to show Democratic fundraisers contacting Epstein to invite him to dinner with Jeffries.

According to Comer, the emails were discovered among the 65,000 pages of documents recently disclosed by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“I have no idea what James Comer is talking about in terms of anything a previous consultant may have sent,” Jeffries added.

Jeffries made the remarks after Congress passed a bill that would force the DOJ to release its records on Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, who died in 2019 while incarcerated on suspicion of underage sex trafficking victims, had built an impressive social circle, including the likes of President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and others.

The public has demanded more transparency about whether Epstein used his connections to facilitate illegal sexual encounters for the rich and powerful in exchange for favors or to gain leverage over them.

The US House of Representatives passed the Epstein Records Transparency Act on Tuesday evening by a vote of 427 to 1. Moments later, the Senate passed the bill unanimously, sending it to President Donald Trump’s desk for his signature.

The records released by the House Oversight Committee are not public because of Tuesday’s transparency law. These are documents produced by the DOJ in cooperation with the committee’s requests. The transparency law is expected to release many more files than the commission has received so far. Rumors have swirled about which prominent figures might be involved in these deeper revelations.

Jeffries, who voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, expressed anger at the suggestion that his name could appear in new disclosures.

“Was that a serious statement from the smart clown James Comer? That I invited Jeffrey Epstein to dinner? That I accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein?” » asked Jeffries.

“This is all part of an effort to distract from their failures as a majority in the House to address issues important to ordinary Americans.”
