House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) charged Tuesday that Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign “solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein.” The Kentucky Republican, who is leading the oversight panel’s investigation into Epstein, cited a 2013 email from a political consulting firm inviting the notorious Pedophile to a Democratic Party dinner and to “get to know” Jeffries. “Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to attend an event, or meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority,” Comer said on the House floor. “So, Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein,” he claimed. “That’s what we found in the last document batch.”

00:00colleagues coordination with Epstein. Another email shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein
00:05to an event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win
00:12a majority. So Hakeem Jeffries campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we found
00:20in the last document batch. The files underscore why former President Trump must appear for his
00:25deposition. We've subpoenaed him. To date, the Democrats have done nothing to help us secure
00:31his appearance. I support full transparency. The Oversight Committee will continue to work
00:36to get the truth to the American people and to get justice for the victims. That's our goal
00:42of this investigation. With that, I yield back. The gentleman yields back. Yeah, Mr. Speaker,
00:47we reserve. The gentleman reserves. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
00:55Colleagues coordination with Epstein. Another email shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an
01:01event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to to build to win a
01:09majority. So Hakeem Jeffries campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we found
01:16in the last document batch. The files underscore why former President Trump must appear for his
01:21deposition. We've subpoenaed him. To date, the Democrats have done nothing to help us
01:26secure his appearance. I support full transparency. The Oversight Committee will continue to work

01:38of this investigation. With that, I yield back. The gentleman yields back. Yeah, Mr. Speaker,
01:43we reserve. The gentleman reserves. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
01:46One thing. It is real. Which brings me to last week. Think about what the Democrats did last week.
01:56The Democrats released an email that the Oversight Committee had obtained from the estate. An email
02:03from Mr. Epstein to Ms. Maxwell. When the Democrats released it, they redacted the victim's name.
02:09Something we all support. Something everyone supports. Except, except in this case,
02:16no court had ordered that name redacted. No agency had redacted it. And the estate didn't
02:21redact it. And the victim had already went public. So why black out her name? Why black out her name?
02:29Because she had said in her book and had testified under oath that she never saw any wrongdoing by
02:36President Trump. So think about what they did. In an email between two criminals,
02:42Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell, in an email between two criminals, they hide the name of an individual
02:49who had went public and had exonerated the president. And we know why. To distort and twist
02:56the message because they thought it might harm the president. Their position, their position,
03:03cover up the names of people who are already public, but don't worry about other innocent people
03:08who the court said should remain private. Again, I think the American people see through it.
03:15They see through what the Democrats are doing. The American people know what this is.
03:20They know Democrats have nothing else to run on because of the success of this administration.
03:26So I say let's vote yes on this resolution. And then let's get focused on making sure we're doing
03:31what the American families elected us to do. With that, I reserve.
03:36The gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
03:39Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
03:42The gentleman is recognized.
03:43Today, four months and three days after Mr. Kahn and Mr. Massey introduced their discharge petition,
03:50perhaps the most famous discharge petition in American history,
03:53The People's House unites across party lines to draw a moral line. We draw a line against the rape
04:02and sexual violation of children. We draw a line against the global criminal trafficking of girls
04:09and young women to service the pleasure of rich and powerful men who believe they are beyond all law
04:16and all morality. We draw a line to put the voices of the victims and the survivors first.
04:24We ask the Senate to join us without changes rather than obstruct this bill with dilatory amendments,
04:32legislative graffiti and self-dealing million dollar jackpot provisions for lucky senators just passed the bill.
04:39We're finally voting today because a bipartisan discharge petition led by representatives Massey and Kahn and signed by 218 of us
04:49overthrew the determined obstruction of the Speaker.
04:54This forced vote means the House will no longer acquiesce in this astonishing real-time cover-up
05:03of a multi-billion dollar global sex trafficking and child rape ring that has ravaged the lives of more
05:12than a thousand girls and young women. We are here today because these victims, these survivors,
05:18these citizens, these inspiring women who have come to Washington are demanding nothing less than justice
05:26and the complete truth about who is responsible for their vicious abuse, including those responsible
05:33for enabling it, ignoring it, bankrolling it, and covering it up. We join them today in rejecting any more
05:42dangerous lies about the crimes they suffered. No, child sex abuse is not a hoax. It's a crime.
05:51Human trafficking is not a hoax. It's a crime. These crimes are a curse on children and young people
05:59across America, in universities and elementary schools, in churches and mosques and synagogues,
06:06in Boy Scout troops and college sports teams and summer camps, anywhere the powerful and the rich
06:13believe they've got the opportunity and the impunity to exploit the young, the poor,
06:20the powerless and the vulnerable. We must face the truth and find the co-conspirators still at
06:27large in one of America's most extensive and sophisticated sex trafficking and child abuse
06:33rings in history. Release of the file will expose the role of everybody who facilitated and covered up
06:40these crimes, like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon,
06:47which executed billions of dollars in transactions related to these offenses, as well as any bank
06:53executives who participated in the sexual abuse of girls and young women. We must expose everyone
06:59who covered up these crimes, like Alex Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami, Donald Trump's
07:06labor secretary, who gave Jeffrey Epstein an unbelievable sweetheart plea deal, immunized unnamed
07:13conspirators and killed an investigation into Epstein's financial crimes that could have brought
07:19down the entire criminal network. And with that, I'm going to yield. I'll reserve the balance of my
07:28time. The gentleman reserves. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield
07:32four minutes to the distinguished chair of the House Oversight Committee, Mr. Comer, and the gentleman from
07:36Kentucky. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As chairman of the House
07:41Oversight Committee, I've always believed that sunshine is the best disinfectant. For years,
07:47the American people have demanded transparency about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's horrific
07:52crimes and about the federal government's failure to protect the victims. The House Oversight Committee
07:59is conducting a thorough review of the federal government's investigation into Epstein. Our work
08:04goes far beyond the legislation before us today. We are committed to accountability, transparency,
08:10and justice for the American people and for the survivors of these appalling crimes.
08:16To date, the Oversight Committee has released more than 65,000 pages of documents, issued 13
08:23subpoenas, and conducted interviews with two key witnesses, both of whom were Republicans.
08:29The Trump administration has provided us with Department of Justice materials and access
08:33to suspicious activity reports. Unfortunately, throughout this investigation, Democrats have chosen to
08:39manufacture yet another anti-Trump hoax instead of pursuing justice. They have mischaracterized witness
08:48testimony and selectively released documents complete with targeted redactions in an effort to smear
08:55President Trump. For example, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who oversaw the 2019 Epstein
09:03investigation, stated clearly under oath that the prosecution team found no evidence that President
09:11Trump committed wrongdoing. Despite this simple and straightforward fact, ranking member Robert Garcia,
09:21moments after that deposition, tiptoed out and publicly claimed that, quote, Barr could not clear Trump of wrongdoing.
09:31That was a lie, and we have the transcript to prove it. I invite the media to read the transcript.
09:39When the Oversight Committee interviewed former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta,
09:45Democrats whipped themselves into a frenzy trying to manufacture a gotcha moment, but they failed.
09:52Mr. Acosta dismantled the Democrats' narrative. His testimony confirmed there was no contact between President Trump
09:59and Mr. Acosta, and no connection between President Trump and the Epstein case. Next, Democrats resorted to
10:07selective leaks and doctored documents to mislead the American people. Oversight Committee Republicans have
10:12posted 65,000 pages of documents we have received to date. Democrats, by contrast, have released fewer than one dozen.
10:21In their latest selective leak, Democrats released just three, three of the 23,000 pages of documents from the Epstein estate.
10:31And they made redactions to two of those emails that changed both the context and the meaning of the three pages they released.
10:40When CNN, CNN, CNN called them out for their deceptive redactions, representatives Stansberry and Crockett tried to blame Republicans for their own edits,
10:53for the Democrat Oversight Committee edits. After Democrats released only three emails, Republicans released over 23,000 pages.
11:02And what did Democrats say in response when we released every single document that we got?
11:09They claimed full transparency was meant to, quote, disorient or distract from their manufactured narrative.
11:17These are the same Democrats who chant, release the files every day until the files contradict the story they want to tell.
11:26That is the definition of hypocrisy. In contrast, full transparency exposed how Epstein appears to be
11:35TDS patient zero. The emails reveal a journalist coached Epstein to blackmail then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
11:45The files also show that a House Democrat colluded with Epstein during the 2019 oversight hearing to discredit
11:57witness with a vendetta against President Trump. And unsurprisingly, Democrats have been silent about
12:03their colleagues' coordination with Epstein. Another email shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an
12:09event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority.
12:17So Hakeem Jeffries' campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we found in the last document
12:25batch. The files underscore why former President Trump must appear for his deposition. We've subpoenaed him.
12:31To date, the Democrats have done nothing to help us secure his appearance. I support full transparency.
12:38The Oversight Committee will continue to work to get the truth to the American people and to get
12:43justice for the victims. That's our goal of this investigation. With that, I yield back.
12:50Yeah, Mr. Speaker, we reserve. The gentleman reserves. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
12:54Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I should just point out that we've heard now from the two distinguished
