Emails Reveal Epstein Invited to Dem Fundraiser To ‘Get To Know’ Hakeem Jeffries
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, accused House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign on Tuesday of “soliciting money from Jeffrey Epstein.”
Citing a 2013 email from a political consulting firm inviting the infamous pedophile to a Democratic Party dinner and to “get to know” Jeffries, the Kentucky Republican is spearheading the oversight panel’s inquiry into Epstein.
“Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to attend an event, or meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority. So, Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That’s what we found in the last document batch,” Comer said on the House floor.
On May 7, 2013, Lisa Rossi, a partner at the New York City-based consulting firm Dynamic SRG, sent Epstein an email with the subject line, “Rising Star.”
Lesley Groff, Epstein’s former executive assistant, also forwarded the email to Epstein.
“Dear Jeffrey,” the message stated. “We are thrilled to announce that we are working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation.
“Sometimes referred to as ‘Brooklyn’s Barack’, he is a staunch supporter of President Obama and a progressive voice for the people of New York City.”
The firm’s pitch to Epstein included a video and article touting the Brooklyn Democrat’s work during his first year in Congress.
“Hakeem is committed to electing a Democratic majority in 2014 and is encouraging his friends to participate in the DCCC/DSCC fundraising dinner with President Obama this coming Monday night,” the email continued. “Shoot us an email or give us a call at [the firm’s phone number] if you would like to get involved with the dinner, or would like to get an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.”
About five years after Epstein entered a guilty plea to charges of soliciting prostitutes and soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida in 2008, the invitation was sent.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Epstein gave tens of thousands of dollars to a number of Democrats. He passed away in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal child sex trafficking allegations.
Epstein did not appear to have donated to Jeffries, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at the time the email was sent, according to Federal Election Commission records.
As part of their extensive Epstein investigation, Republicans in the House Oversight Committee published over 20,000 documents last week, including the email.
This comes as the U.S. Senate formally enacted legislation compelling the Justice Department to provide additional details regarding the case it developed against the late convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The House decisively cleared the bill on Tuesday, and senators had agreed to automatically pass it as soon as it was received.
President Donald Trump has stated that he will sign it, and it is currently on his desk. This is true even though Speaker Mike Johnson pushed for last-minute revisions to the House-passed plan and hinted that he could urge Trump to veto it.
The Justice Department will have 30 days to make the papers publicly available with redactions to safeguard Epstein’s victims, assuming Trump follows through.
On Tuesday, Speaker Mike Johnson discussed House Republicans’ efforts to deliver maximum transparency regarding the Epstein files and ensure justice for victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.
“The truth is, the biggest proponents of this discharge petition were never actually interested in transparency or ensuring justice or protecting victims of this unspeakable tragedy, the Epstein evils. And how do we know that? Because the Democrats had every one of the Epstein files in their possession for the four long years of the Biden Administration,” Johnson said.
“The Biden Department of Justice had the files the entire time, and not a single one of the people who were so loud and animated right now ever said anything about it for all those four years,” he said.
“For four long years under the previous administration of the Biden-Harris Administration, Democrats insisted there was no border crisis. Remember, they told you that that wasn’t a problem at all. They dismissed inflation as transitory. That’s what they told us. They told the American people not to believe what we could all see with our own eyes, that there was an obvious mental and physical decline on the part of President Biden individually,” Johnson said.
A Little Girl Saves a Billionaire’s Life — Then He Discovers Who She Really Is
It was a scorching afternoon in Dallas when Alexander Reed, once celebrated as a tech prodigy and self-made billionaire, collapsed on the sidewalk — and no one noticed.
People rushed past without slowing down. Some assumed he was drunk. Others thought he was just another exhausted executive in an expensive suit. No one realized that the CEO of Nexora Technologies was lying there, barely conscious.
He had just lost fifty million dollars in a disastrous investment. His mother was in intensive care after suffering a stroke. Years of sleepless nights and relentless pressure had finally broken him.
But fate had other plans.
A little girl in a bright red dress, chasing butterflies nearby, froze when she heard the sound of his fall. She ran toward him, placed her tiny hand on his chest, and whispered softly, “He’s still breathing.”
With trembling fingers, she grabbed his phone and dialed emergency services. Her calm voice and quick thinking saved his life.
Neither of them realized that this moment — a stranger’s compassion on a blazing Texas afternoon — would change everything.
Because the man she had just saved was not a stranger.
He was…
Her father.
A child born from a brief love story years ago.
Alexander blinked in shock as he looked at her. The little girl stared back with eyes that felt hauntingly familiar.
Her smile. Her gaze. Something deep inside him stirred. A memory long buried surfaced — a summer night, a soft laugh, a promise he never kept.
“Daddy…” she whispered, her voice small but certain.
The word pierced through him.
He leaned forward slowly, hands shaking.
“Are you… are you really mine?” he asked, his voice barely steady.
She nodded shyly, clutching the worn teddy bear she carried everywhere.
In that moment, Alexander felt his heart shatter and mend all at once. For years, he had chased success and wealth, ignoring the fragile human connections that truly mattered.
And now destiny — in the form of a fearless little girl — was giving him a second chance.
The paramedics stood nearby, quietly respecting the scene.
Alexander gently brushed her hair from her face, tears filling his eyes.
“I will never let you go again,” he whispered.
That day, on the scorching pavement of Dallas, a life was saved — and a family long separated was finally brought back together.
Past mistakes and future hope met in the eyes of a little girl brave enough to change everything.
