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.
Robert Garcia, the top-ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said that the report was released 'based on an incomplete investigation and zero public hearings on Jeffrey Epstein.' He also noted that the work 'is just getting started,' and that he intends 'to hold real public hearings uplifting survivors and asking tough questions of the powerful men who associated with Epstein, including Donald Trump.'
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.'
