"I have no idea what James Comer is talking about in terms of anything any prior consultant may have sent," Jeffries added.
Jeffries’ remarks come on the heels of congressional passage of a bill that would require the DOJ to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, who died in 2019 while incarcerated on suspicion of having sex-trafficked underage victims, had amassed an impressive social circle including figures like President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and others.
The public has demanded further transparency on whether Epstein used his connections to facilitate illegal sexual encounters for the rich and powerful in return for favors or to secure leverage over them.

"This is all part of an effort to deflect from their failures as a House Majority to deal with the issues of importance to everyday Americans," Jeffries said.
