Email Inviting Epstein to Jeffries Fundraiser Surfaces

A 2013 email invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Democratic fundraising event connected to Hakeem Jeffries and offered an opportunity to meet him. James Comer said the outreach showed Jeffries’ campaign solicited Epstein; Jeffries denied meeting Epstein or receiving money from him. Center outlets emphasize Jeffries’ denial and the lack of evidence of donations as limits on what the email establishes. Right-leaning outlets foreground Comer’s solicitation allegation, though some also report Jeffries’ denial or the absence of donations.
