                          IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE

  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I have taken to the floor today to respond 
to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling me a ``stone-cold liar'' 
during a press conference defending the recent discovery of Democrats' 
communication with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
  I bring with me something that he and many of his fellow Democrats--
Democrats like Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, and Stacey Plaskett--
apparently detest, which is a thing called evidence.
  Tuesday, I gave a speech on the House floor detailing my House 
Oversight Committee's good work to date on our Epstein investigation. 
After all, Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrats in Congress, and their allies 
in the corporate media have been demanding a full release of the 
Epstein documents for months, including all the documents from the 
Epstein estate.
  Without hesitation, I subpoenaed all of the Jeffrey Epstein estate 
documents because I, as well as my Republican colleagues on the House 
Oversight Committee, want to know what really happened. We want to know 
what went on and who was involved in these unspeakable crimes. We want 
justice for the survivors. That is why we are doing this investigation.

  The House Oversight Committee obtained over 30,000 pages of documents 
from the estate. Unlike the Democrats, who only released 10 of those 
over 30,000 pages of documents, Republicans on the House Oversight 
Committee released every single document on the website for the 
American people to see.
  Democrats and many in the media were anxiously clutching their pearls 
in anticipation of potential dirt on President Trump. In the end, after 
full transparency by the Republicans on the Oversight Committee, there 
was nothing new about the President's former relationship with Epstein 
and certainly nothing scandalous. We did find two sitting Democrat 
Members of Congress had communication with Epstein.
  First, it has been highly reported and debated about Congresswoman 
Stacey Plaskett texting during an Oversight Committee hearing with 
Jeffrey Epstein, while trying to conspire with him to hurt or embarrass 
Donald Trump. According to Jamie Raskin, that was okay because Mr. 
Epstein was her constituent. How embarrassing a rationale is that?
  The second communication was this email right here where Hakeem 
Jeffries' campaign reached out directly to Jeffrey Epstein, soliciting 
campaign dollars for the ``Brooklyn Barack.'' Now, whereas Jamie Raskin 
explained Plaskett's communication with Epstein as simply responding to 
a constituent, Hakeem Jeffries had a very different response when asked 
about it by the media. He denied its existence. Hakeem Jeffries said 
Comer is a stone-cold liar. Then he reverted to calling me names for 
the second week in a row.
  Let's read it to make sure. It is to Jeffrey Epstein. That is the 
real Jeffrey Epstein, not Jasmine Crockett's Jeffrey Epstein. This is 
the real Jeffrey Epstein. It is from Hakeem Jeffries' campaign.

       Dear Jeffrey, we are thrilled that we are working with 
     Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, one of the rising stars of the 
     New York delegation, sometimes referred to as ``Brooklyn's 
     Barack.'' Hakeem is committed to electing a Democrat majority 
     in 2014 and is encouraging his friends to participate in the 
     DCCC fundraising dinner with President Obama and Hakeem 
     Jeffries.

  It ends with a number for Jeffrey Epstein to call to go to the dinner 
and ``get an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.''
  Here is the evidence. The email speaks for itself. The only stone-
cold liar in this debate is Hakeem Jeffries.
  Madam Speaker, I ask Mr. Minority Leader to take a deep breath, chill 
out, stop lying, stop with the juvenile name calling, and own up to the 
fact that his campaign solicited campaign cash from Jeffrey Epstein.
