The top Republican running the congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein said Thursday that he agrees with Vice President JD Vance’s assessment that the Trump administration bungled the release of the Epstein files.
Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, told NOTUS on Thursday that “I agree with [Vance] 100%.” The comment marks a notable escalation of criticism by the House Republican and underscores frustration in the party over the White House’s handling of information around the disgraced financier.
“I think 99.9% of Americans would agree with what the vice president said,” Comer said. “It’s been handled poorly, but a lot of the information has never been shared.”
