WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following explosive reporting by The Wall Street Journal revealing Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book contains what appears to be Donald Trump’s signature, the Congressional Integrity Project is calling on House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to investigate the President’s changing story about his longstanding relationship with the convicted sex trafficker and is reiterating its demands for Trump to testify under oath about these connections. While Republicans waste time on sham investigations, they are ignoring opportunities to pursue justice for Epstein’s victims and uncover the truth that Americans deserve.
In response, the Congressional Integrity Project released the following statement:
“Republicans should immediately launch an investigation into Donald Trump’s changing story regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and bring the President in for questioning about these documented inconsistencies. First, Trump called investigations into his Epstein connections a ‘hoax.’ Then he denied knowing anything about a birthday book. Now we learn this book exists with what appears to be his signature.
“If Congressional Republicans had any dignity, they would drop their sham investigations and stand with Epstein’s victims by pursuing a real inquiry into these documented contradictions. Instead, they hide behind phony political theater, avoiding the hard work of actually holding accountable those involved in Epstein’s horrific abuse. If Congress is truly serious about getting to the truth, it must stop the spectacle and start asking tough questions of everyone involved—including powerful figures who may have knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and have offered conflicting accounts of their involvement.”
