Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein hold photos of themselves as teens in a public service announcement
An “unfounded witch hunt” conducted by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee has collapsed, as “the facts gathered during this investigation do not suggest President Trump is implicated … .”
That’s according to a new report from the committee on dozens of interviews with people familiar with Jeffrey Epstein and his activities.
The convicted sex offender died several years ago in a New York City jail.
The report from the committee pointed out that the Democrats on the committee “were obsessed with trying to implicate President Trump and insinuate that he was involved in the crimes of Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell. Their unfounded witch hunt continued without regard for the interests of survivors, even though the facts gathered during this investigation do not suggest President Trump is implicated in any of Epstein’s crimes.”
The report said, “The consensus of every witness examined before the Committee was that President Trump––to their knowledge––was not involved in any crimes committed by Epstein and Maxwell.”
The report, “A Review of the Federal Government’s Mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell Criminal Investigations,” is the result of the committee’s 15-month investigation, including 19 transcribed interviews and depositions from witnesses.
The committee explained the report details how Epstein and Maxwell’s network facilitated the recruitment, control, and abuse of young women. It also exposes how Epstein cultivated relationships with powerful individuals and leveraged those connections to establish financial and social legitimacy. Additionally, the report documents the federal government’s decades-long failure to hold Epstein accountable for his crimes and deliver justice for survivors.

Chairman James Comer said, “The federal government has failed the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes for decades. The House Oversight Committee conducted a review of the federal government’s mishandled investigations to bring transparency to the American people and accountability for survivors. Epstein operated with impunity, shielded and enabled by powerful connections and a justice system that repeatedly failed his victims. Governments at every level and powerful institutions must meet their legal obligations to identify these crimes, stop perpetrators, and deliver justice for survivors.
“The evidence we uncovered makes clear that the Department of Justice must interview or re-interview key witnesses, investigate Epstein associates accused of criminal activity, and ensure survivors have access to their records. Congress must also pass legislation protecting the ability of individuals with knowledge of sexual abuse and survivors to speak freely about these crimes, regardless of nondisclosure agreements. We cannot undo the horrific harm inflicted on these women. But we must ensure that allegations of criminal activity are thoroughly investigated, survivors are protected, and those responsible are held accountable. The failures of the past must not be repeated.”
Among the recommendations are that Congress adopt legislation to ensure survivors can speak freely about sexual abuse regardless of confidentiality agreements, the DOJ re-interview witnesses in this case, and more.
The committee concluded that crimes Epstein committed after 2005 “could have been prevented—and justice served—if not for failures by federal investigators and prosecutors in South Florida and Washington, D.C.”
That scenario concluded with Epstein entering a no-prosecution agreement in Florida which allowed a plea to state charges but no pursuit of federal counts.
Some of that treatment “appeared to stem from Epstein’s pervasive influence and far-reaching connections, potentially including two attorneys employed by the office,” the report said.
The committee also found the DOJ “must further investigate” claims against “two powerful men – Phililp Levine, the former mayor of Miami Beach from 2013 to 2017, and Frederic Fekkai, a French celebrity hairstylist.”
Those interviewed by the committee included Maxwell, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and others.
A report at RedState said the committee “came out swinging” with its report how the government for decades “failed in its criminal investigations into the misdeeds of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”
Comer said, “What we found is both heartbreaking and infuriating. These women endured unimaginable abuse, and the federal government failed them at nearly every turn. Had the government done its job, much of this abuse could have been prevented.”
