US EditionComer Worries No One Will Believe His Epstein Report
Political and procedural disputes within the Republican Party delay timely release of Epstein files amid concerns about credibility and internal loyalty tests.
- The House of Representatives voted earlier this month to release the Epstein files and forwarded the measure to the Senate, with a Monday report saying President Donald Trump would sign the bill.
- Investigation head Comer believes excessive speculation and formatting issues could undermine public trust, while Politico writer Hailey Fuchs warned that timeliness is the biggest hurdle against GOP opposition.
- Comer has subpoenaed JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank records and asked the attorney general for the U.S. Virgin Islands for materials, while assigning Oversight Committee Democratic and Republican women to meet victims as Ghislaine Maxwell refused to cooperate.
- Hailey Fuchs wrote that `But the most significant challenge Comer faces is managing the political fallout for Trump and the GOP writ large`, while Politico says the probe could determine Comer’s political future and a White House insider noted Trump 'likes James Comer a lot'.
- Comer warned he fears the report will resemble the Warren Report analogy, while Politico said the Epstein saga has derailed the Republican congressional agenda and urged swift file release.
