House Oversight Calls on DOJ to Interview Key Epstein Witnesses, Says Govt. ‘Failed’ Survivors
The 137-page report followed a 15-month inquiry and said federal authorities repeatedly failed Epstein’s victims, according to House Oversight Republicans.
- On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a report exposing federal failures that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to abuse young women for decades. Kentucky Republican James Comer led the 15-month investigation, which included 19 interviews and depositions.
- Federal authorities repeatedly failed victims, according to investigators who reviewed Justice Department and Epstein estate documents. Comer declared the government enabled Epstein's crimes for decades, allowing the disgraced financier to escape serious consequences despite mounting abuse allegations.
- Nineteen of the twenty sought individuals testified before the committee, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Leon Black alone refused to appear.
- Republicans called the Democratic investigation an 'obsession' to implicate President Donald Trump, though the report found no evidence linking him to crimes. Meanwhile, political ads in Kansas and Florida accused GOP senators of 'protecting pedophiles' with their votes.
- The report called for the Justice Department to interview 'key witnesses' to deliver justice for survivors. Podcaster Joe Rogan called the administration's handling 'a line in the sand,' accusing officials of 'trying to gaslight' the electorate.
