IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025)] [House] [Pages H4829-H4830] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE (Mr. Comer of Kentucky was recognized to address the House for 5 minutes.) [[Page H4830]] Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I have taken to the floor today to respond to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling me a ``stone-cold liar'' during a press conference defending the recent discovery of Democrats' communication with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. I bring with me something that he and many of his fellow Democrats-- Democrats like Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, and Stacey Plaskett-- apparently detest, which is a thing called evidence. Tuesday, I gave a speech on the House floor detailing my House Oversight Committee's good work to date on our Epstein investigation. After all, Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrats in Congress, and their allies in the corporate media have been demanding a full release of the Epstein documents for months, including all the documents from the Epstein estate. Without hesitation, I subpoenaed all of the Jeffrey Epstein estate documents because I, as well as my Republican colleagues on the House Oversight Committee, want to know what really happened. We want to know what went on and who was involved in these unspeakable crimes. We want justice for the survivors. That is why we are doing this investigation. The House Oversight Committee obtained over 30,000 pages of documents from the estate. Unlike the Democrats, who only released 10 of those over 30,000 pages of documents, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released every single document on the website for the American people to see. Democrats and many in the media were anxiously clutching their pearls in anticipation of potential dirt on President Trump. In the end, after full transparency by the Republicans on the Oversight Committee, there was nothing new about the President's former relationship with Epstein and certainly nothing scandalous. We did find two sitting Democrat Members of Congress had communication with Epstein. First, it has been highly reported and debated about Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett texting during an Oversight Committee hearing with Jeffrey Epstein, while trying to conspire with him to hurt or embarrass Donald Trump. According to Jamie Raskin, that was okay because Mr. Epstein was her constituent. How embarrassing a rationale is that? The second communication was this email right here where Hakeem Jeffries' campaign reached out directly to Jeffrey Epstein, soliciting campaign dollars for the ``Brooklyn Barack.'' Now, whereas Jamie Raskin explained Plaskett's communication with Epstein as simply responding to a constituent, Hakeem Jeffries had a very different response when asked about it by the media. He denied its existence. Hakeem Jeffries said Comer is a stone-cold liar. Then he reverted to calling me names for the second week in a row. Let's read it to make sure. It is to Jeffrey Epstein. That is the real Jeffrey Epstein, not Jasmine Crockett's Jeffrey Epstein. This is the real Jeffrey Epstein. It is from Hakeem Jeffries' campaign. Dear Jeffrey, we are thrilled that we are working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, one of the rising stars of the New York delegation, sometimes referred to as ``Brooklyn's Barack.'' Hakeem is committed to electing a Democrat majority in 2014 and is encouraging his friends to participate in the DCCC fundraising dinner with President Obama and Hakeem Jeffries. It ends with a number for Jeffrey Epstein to call to go to the dinner and ``get an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.'' Here is the evidence. The email speaks for itself. The only stone- cold liar in this debate is Hakeem Jeffries. Madam Speaker, I ask Mr. Minority Leader to take a deep breath, chill out, stop lying, stop with the juvenile name calling, and own up to the fact that his campaign solicited campaign cash from Jeffrey Epstein. ____________________
