House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is freaking out after allegations came out earlier this week he may have had dinner with deceased pedophile and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein or solicited donations from him for his campaign. In fact, Jeffries struck back at Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, saying, “He’s a stone-cold liar.”
The day before Jeffries went on the offensive against Comer, the House Oversight Committee released a document that shows Democratic fundraisers getting in contact with Epstein through email messages and inviting him to a dinner with the New York Democrat. Even more damning, the messages and the alleged meeting happened well after Epstein was arrested for sex crimes.
Comer revealed the emails were found within a batch of 65,000 pages of recently disclosed documents provided by the Justice Department. Jeffries responded to the information with the usual Democrat strategy of deny, deny, deny, saying, “I have no idea what James Comer is talking about in terms of anything any prior consultant may have sent.”
Jeffries comments come after Congress passed new legislation requiring the DOJ to release all of its files on Jeffrey Epstein. The disgraced billionaire, who died in prison while serving time for suspicion of trafficking underage girls, is well known for having connections to some of the most powerful people on the planet. His social circle included figures such as former President Bill Clinton, his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and many others.
Many on both sides of the political spectrum have demanded maximum transparency concerning the Epstein case, especially those who might have potentially been involved in some capacity with his human trafficking operation. Some believe Epstein may have used his sick and twisted “business” to set up sexual encounters between the rich and powerful with underage girls in exchange for favors or as a means of securing leverage he could use against them.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed by the House on Tuesday evening by a vote of 427-1. Just a few moments after that, the Senate unanimously adopted the bill, passing it on to the desk of President Donald Trump to be officially signed into law. The files released by the House Oversight Committee aren’t public because of this new legislation. The materials were produced by the DOJ to comply with requests made by the committee.
More files are expected to be released with the passage of the Transparency Act into law. Rumors have already been floating around concerning which notable figures in government and in our culture might be mixed up in Epstein’s web. Jeffries, who voted in favor of the bill, expressed frustration at the idea his name could be included in other disclosures in the future.

“Was that a serious statement from malignant clown James Comer? That I had Jeffrey Epstein over for dinner? That I accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein?” Jeffries went on to ask with more than a touch of venom in his words. “This is all part of an effort to deflect from their failures as a House majority to deal with the issues of importance to everyday Americans.” With the passing of the Transparency Act, the DOJ now has 30 days to comply with its disclosure requirements.
