Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Oversight Committee, told Fox News Friday that he does, in fact, plan to hold hearings for the survivors of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Foxs Sandra Smith mentioned First Lady Melania Trumps surprise announcement Thursday, where she called for congressional hearings for the survivors.
Smith played a clip of Melania saying, Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes. And then her testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record. Then, and only then, we will have the truth. The first lady also denied having anything but casual ties to Epstein or cohort Ghislaine Maxwell, despite exchanging friendly emails with Maxwell. One email read:
Dear G, how are you? Nice story about JE in New York Mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in New York. Have a great time. Love, Melania.
So will there be hearings? Smith asked Comer. Yes, Ive always planned on having hearings with the victims, Comer answered.
