Republicans release 137-page bombshell report on government's glaring Jeffrey Epstein 'failures' | Victoria Churchill, Daily Mail
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have released a jaw-dropping report exposing the government failures that allowed convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to abuse young women for decades.
The committee, led by Kentucky Republican James Comer, dropped a report on Tuesday following a sweeping 15-month investigation that included 19 interviews and depositions, financial records, and documents obtained from the Justice Department and Epstein's estate.
In a statement, Comer declared that 'the federal government has failed the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's horrific crimes for decades.'
Comer also noted that 'Epstein operated with impunity, shielded and enabled by powerful connections and a justice system that repeatedly failed his victims.
'Governments at every level and powerful institutions must meet their legal obligations to identify these crimes, stop perpetrators, and deliver justice for survivors,' Comer added.
The investigators' most damning findings centered on how federal authorities repeatedly failed Epstein's victims, allowing the disgraced financier to escape serious consequences despite mounting allegations of sexual abuse.
Notably, the committee did not find any materials to tie President Donald Trump to Epstein's crimes, despite what the Republicans called an 'obsession' by Democrats to try to 'implicate President Trump and insinuate that he was involved in the crimes of Epstein and Maxwell.'
The Republican handling of the Epstein investigation was one reason for working-class men being turned off of supporting the GOP due to their handling of the Epstein files investigation in the midterms.
Among those on the MAGA right, the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files drew fury, as encapsulated by podcaster Joe Rogan, who called it 'a line in the sand' and accused the administration of 'trying to gaslight' the electorate.
Democrats believed that the Epstein issue is resonating with working-class voters and in Kansas launched ads accusing Republican senator Roger Marshall of 'protecting pedophiles' with his votes in Congress, and being a member of the 'Epstein class.'
In Florida, the party spent big running a 30-second ad during Game 3 of the World Series, featuring an Epstein survivor accusing Republican Senator Ashley Moody of 'voting to protect the man who abused me.'
Men overall backed Democrats in the 2026 midterms by a narrow margin of 50 to 47.
Over the course of the months-long investigation, Republicans and Democrats alike were brought in to testify before Congress about their knowledge, or lack thereof, of Epstein's crimes.
Nineteen of the twenty individuals whom the Committee sought to speak with appeared before lawmakers.
The only one who did not was Leon Black, who paid Epstein roughly $158 million to $170 million between 2012 and 2017 for tax, estate planning, and related services.
Back in September, a bipartisan group of lawmakers voted unanimously to hold Black in contempt of Congress.
The investigation also set a new precedent as a former president, Bill Clinton, appeared before the committee in a closed-door deposition near his home in Chappaqua, New York, as did his wife, former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Republican witnesses were also called in during the investigation, including current and former Trump administration officials.
Trump's current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sat for a transcribed interview, as did the first Attorney General of his second term, Pam Bondi. Bill Barr, who served as Attorney General during Trump's first term in 2019 and 2020, was deposed as well.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates came to Capitol Hill for a transcribed interview as well, and saw fallout from his involvement with Epstein.
Gates admitted to cheating on his ex-wife, Melinda, and claimed Epstein tried to weaponize the affairs against him during a bombshell congressional grilling back in June.
Gates was hauled before Congress after photos and emails in the Epstein files exposed startling new depths to his former friendship with the financier.
In the report released Tuesday, Comer and fellow Republicans also urged the Department of Justice to conduct further investigations into Epstein's associates.
The DOJ is encouraged to reinterview key witnesses and also give victims access to unredacted versions of their personal files and records.
Comer and fellow Republicans are also asking the DOJ to further scrutinize Epstein's former assistant Lesley Groff, as well as former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine and celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai.
Both Levine and Fekkai were accused of sexual misconduct by another longtime Epstein assistant and survivor, Sarah Kellen, in her interview with the Oversight Committee.

The FDA is reportedly adding an eye warning to Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound and the rest of the GLP-1 class over NAION, a rare condition that cuts blood flow to the optic nerve and can cause sudden, permanent vision loss.
The good news is the risk is tiny, about 6 cases per 100,000 users a year.
The bad news is you might finally hit your goal weight and not be able to see it🫠
