Hakeem Jeffries dodges LindellTV question on Epstein
By Easton Martin | November 19, 2025
LindellTV reporter Alison Steinberg asked Hakeem Jeffries today about a claim that House Oversight Chair James Comer made. Comer alleged Jeffries accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein and even hosted him for dinner in 2013, after Epstein had already been convicted as a sex offender.
Rather than directly denying it, Jeffries lashed out at Comer, calling him a “malignant clown” and questioning whether Comer’s statement was serious. He added that “Republicans have been burying the Epstein files, not Democrats,” framing the issue as political rather than personal.
Jeffries’ response avoids a direct answer about the alleged dinner or any financial connection, instead attacking the messenger and shifting the focus to Republican actions.
Jeffries also recently appeared on a CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins, where he repeatedly refused to answer a question regarding the appropriateness of Rep. Stacey Plaskett’s communications with Jeffery Epstein.
