Nothing open. Every check passed.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a sharply critical report Tuesday on the federal government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigations — and it does not hold back. Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said flatly that the government has failed survivors of the pair's crimes for decades.
The report lays out a to-do list for the Department of Justice. It calls for the agency to interview or re-interview the key witnesses who hold information about Epstein's sex trafficking of young women and girls, dig further into allegations of criminal activity involving Epstein's associates, and give survivors unredacted access to their own records.
Comer also wants Congress to move on legislation he sponsored that would let survivors of sexual abuse speak freely about what happened to them, even if they signed confidentiality agreements.
The report lands alongside a public push on Capitol Hill. Epstein abuse survivor Lisa Phillips spoke at a news conference with lawmakers on the Epstein Files Transparency Act outside the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 18, 2025.
