A recent release of over 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein's emails has shed new light on the dealings of several US politicians, including US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. One email from 2013, sent on behalf of Jeffries, invites the disgraced financier to a fundraising dinner in New York, where he could meet President Barack Obama and make a donation to Jeffries' campaign for the US House of Representatives. According to the email, sent by Lisa Rossi, the event aimed to raise funds for Jeffries' campaign to the US House of Representatives. However, the House Oversight Committee has clarified that Jeffries did not directly seek the donation from Epstein. Instead, his campaign solicited money from the financier as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority. The release of Epstein's emails has sparked controversy, with several high-profile politicians, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, facing scrutiny. The US House has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which forces the release of all files related to the probe. The bill has been sent to President Trump for approval and is expected to be released by the DOJ soon.
