House lawmakers learned “additional names” of persons of interest who could provide further information about Jeffrey Epstein during an hours-long meeting with six of the deceased sex trafficker’s victims on Tuesday, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed.
The powerful chairman of the House Oversight Committee emerged from the over two-hour, closed-door meeting with Epstein’s victims and said he and other lawmakers had “learned of some additional names today.”
An Oversight rep clarified that the additional names were “persons of interest who would possess information” about the dead pedophile or any alleged co-conspirators.
“Some of the ladies have shared these stories publicly before, but at least two of the women had never told their stories before, one for the very first time in the room, and so, there were tears in the room,” explained House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) afterward.
“There was outrage. It was both — I would describe it as heartbreaking and infuriating. That justice has been delayed so long.”
