House Oversight Chair James Comer criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar over her remarks about Donald Trump and the Epstein files, and accused her of avoiding questions about her finances. Comer also discussed the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related records and the Clintons’ planned testimony.
Comer told NewsNation that Omar’s comments about Trump and the Epstein files were out of line. He said she should answer questions about reports of a sharp increase in her net worth and her husband’s financial activities, and criticized her for comparing Somalia with the United States. These claims and criticisms were Comer’s; the article does not include a response from Omar.
The article also describes Attorney General Pam Bondi’s hearing on the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related records, including the department’s acknowledgment that some documents were over-redacted while survivors were exposed. Comer said the Clintons wanted a public hearing to avoid substantive questions and described the deposition process they were expected to face.
