U.S. Representative James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, confirmed on Friday that he supports First Lady Melania Trump's call for congressional hearings with victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Comer stated, "We will have hearings," emphasizing the importance of allowing victims to share their stories under oath. The Oversight Committee has been actively communicating with Epstein's victims, with some expressing willingness to testify while others are not ready. These hearings come in the wake of the U.S. Justice Department's release of millions of documents related to Epstein, who was facing serious charges of sex trafficking minors before his death in jail in 2019. The release of these documents has reignited public interest in the case, which has been a sensitive topic for President Donald Trump, who has sought to distance himself from the scandal. In her remarks, Melania Trump denied any personal connection to Epstein and clarified that she was not among his victims.
