Watch: James Comer Brings Hard Evidence to House Floor After Hakeem Jeffries Calls Him a ‘Stone-Cold Liar’
House Oversight Commitee Chairman James Comer responded to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling him a “stone-cold liar” over allegations that Jeffries’ campaign had solicited donations from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. comer presented documents obtained through committee subpoenas showing communications between Epstein and two Democratic lawmakers, including Jeffries. Comer highlighted a 2013 fundraising invitation sent by Jeffries’ campaign to Epstein, inviting him to a dinner with Jeffries and then-President barack Obama, describing it as an prospect to “get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denied the allegations and misrepresented Comer’s original claims, insisting he had no knowledge of such solicitations. Comer maintained that the evidence proves Jeffries’ campaign sought Epstein’s financial support, marking a controversial revelation amid Democrats’ efforts to link former President Trump to Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer brought the receipts Thursday after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called him a “stone-cold liar” for saying his campaign had invited Jeffrey Epstein to a fundraising event.
“I’ve 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,” Comer began.
The Oversight chairman went on to note that his committee subpoenaed Epstein estate documents, over 30,000 pages in all, and released them to the public earlier this year.
“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,” Comer said, referring to President Donald Trump.
“But we did find two Democratic members of Congress had communication with Jeffrey Epstein,” he continued, first pointing to the well-publicized case of Democratic Virgin Islands delegate Stacey Plaskett, who texted with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing aimed at hurting Trump.
“But the second communication was this , right here, where Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign reached out directly to Jeffrey Epstein, soliciting campaign dollars for the ‘Brooklyn Barack,’” Commer said, pointing to a blown-up image of the he brought the the House floor.

The Republican highlighted that Jeffries denied its existence and then proceeded to read the out loud.
He first noted it was addressed directly to Epstein, “and that’s the real Jeffrey Epstein, not Jasmine Crockett’s Jeffrey Epstein.”
Crockett had falsely accused Trump Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin of receiving campaign contributions while a member of Congress from Epstein, but she referred to 2020 donations made by Zeldin’s doctor of the same name, rather than the notorious sex criminal Epstein, who had died in prison the year prior.
The contained an invitation to attend a 2013 fundraising dinner with Jeffries and then-President Barack Obama.
The campaign staff billed it as “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.”
🚨Hakeem Jeffries refuses to admit that his team sought money from Jeffrey Epstein post-conviction.
Documents I subpoenaed from the Epstein Estate clearly shows they wanted Epstein cash to build a Democrat majority.
But he’s now calling me a “liar.”

Jeffries was asked Wednesday about the after Comer had made his original allegation from the House floor.
“Are you saying that your fundraisers never solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein in exchange for a meet and greet? Because that’s what he’s saying, that there are s proving it,” the reporter asked.
“I have no idea what James Comer is talking about in terms of anything any prior consultant may have sent,” Jeffries responded.
The minority leader then mischaracterized what Comer had said Wednesday, saying the Republican accused him of having dinner with Epstein and taking a donation from him.
Having set up the straw man, Jeffries charged, “He’s a stone-cold liar!”
Comer made no such allegations on Wednesday, only that Jeffries was invited to a fundraising dinner.
“Another shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event — or to meet privately — with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority. So Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That’s what we found in the last document batch,” the congressman said.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! House Oversight Chair @JamesComer just EXPOSED Hakeem Jeffries on the House floor for soliciting a MEETING and donations from Jeffrey Epstein — even AFTER Epstein was a convicted s*x predator

So score one for Comer: He told the truth, and Jeffries did not.
While Democrats clearly hoped the release of the Epstein files would hurt Trump, they may have gravely miscalculated.
