Comer told reporters the committee expects to receive more documents as part of its Epstein probe.
“We’ve got a lot more documents we expect to get in,” he said. “We’re going to bring a lot of people in for deposition, so this investigation is moving along very rapidly, and hopefully we’ll get some answers and some justice very soon.”
In response to the developments surrounding the so-called birthday book and the alleged letter from Trump, Brad Edwards, an attorney for scores of Epstein survivors, said on Monday that Trump’s “hypocrisy has been most frustrating for the victims.”
“He told the public the Epstein story should ‘go away,’ yet filed a $10 billion lawsuit that only magnifies the very issue he wants silenced,” Edwards told ABC News. “With today’s release, the least he could do is withdraw that lawsuit and publicly apologize to the journalists he attacked for reporting what seems to have now proved to be true.”
Leavitt was asked on Tuesday about Epstein survivors and if the president is willing to meet with them. She said Trump “cares about victims of all crimes” before turning to criticizing Democrats, who she claimed were “desperately trying to concoct a hoax to smear the president of the United States.”
Leavitt, who earlier in the press briefing called the Epstein saga “a hoax against the president of the United States,” was asked to further explain what the White House viewed as the “hoax” and their explanation for how these documents came to be at the Epstein estate.
