🎯IMPACT: Increased scrutiny of Epstein-related documents and public figures connected to the case, including potential new revelations about Prince Andrew.
Congressman James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is again criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi for her handling of claims surrounding a supposed Jeffrey Epstein client list. Bondi had previously suggested in February that such a list was “sitting on my desk,” but later said there was no list and she was referring to Epstein case files more broadly.
Comer stated, “It’s an odd series of events. She said she had the Epstein list on her [desk], then they walked it back and said there was no list. That’s a question she needs to answer.” He added, “I don’t think anyone would say she’s handled this situation in a perfect manner.”
The Kentucky Republican also addressed claims that President Donald J. Trump referred to the Epstein scandal as a “hoax.” He clarified, “I don’t interpret what Donald Trump said as the Epstein Island criminal activity was a hoax. I think what he means by hoax is it’s a hoax that the media is trying to say that Donald Trump ever went to Epstein Island, or Donald Trump was ever involved in inappropriate relationships with these young girls, or the human trafficking.”
Meanwhile, Comer has vowed to release any relevant documents regarding Prince Andrew and his connections to Epstein. He stated, “Anything we get we will publish,” warning, “If Prince Andrew’s name is mentioned, you’ll see it.” Comer emphasized transparency in the investigation, saying, “We believe very strongly in due process, and we’re going to give everyone an opportunity to explain themselves.”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) previously announced Epstein’s death was a suicide—despite widespread speculation to the contrary—and stated that no incriminating client list exists. However, public interest in the case remains high, with further document releases expected in the coming weeks, potentially involving communications and financial records tied to Prince Andrew.
