US EditionComer responds to Melania Trump: ‘We will have hearings’ with Epstein victims
Comer said some survivors are willing to testify as the committee continues depositions and questions more high-profile figures tied to Epstein.
- On Friday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer confirmed plans to hold public hearings for Jeffrey Epstein victims, following First Lady Melania Trump's call for such testimony on Thursday.
- Melania Trump stated Thursday that victims should tell their stories under oath to uncover the truth, thrusting the Epstein matter back into the spotlight after documents identified more than 1,200 victims since late 2025.
- "We will have hearings," Comer told Fox News on Friday, noting the committee must complete depositions of "more high-profile men" while his attorneys have communicated with survivors' legal representatives for months.
- In February, the Oversight Committee questioned former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about their Epstein dealings; both denied involvement, as has President Donald Trump.
- While some survivors are willing to testify, others are not—a reality Comer said he understands as the committee processes evidence from millions of files released regarding Epstein's operations.
