The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has released the transcript of Alex Acosta’s interview as part of its ongoing review of the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases.

Alongside the transcript, the Committee also published letters from former U.S. Attorneys General Eric Holder and Merrick Garland, as well as former FBI Director James Comey. All three stated, subject to 18 U.S.C. § 1001, that they had no knowledge or information related to the Committee’s investigation.

Additionally, the Committee made available new records from the Epstein estate.

James Comer, who currently serves in the U.S. Congress representing Kentucky’s 1st district, has held his seat since 2016 after succeeding Ed Whitfield. Before his tenure in Congress, Comer served in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 2001 to 2012. Comer was born in Carthage, Tennessee in 1972 and now resides in Tompkinsville. He graduated from Western Kentucky University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science degree.

A backup of the newly published records is available. Further information can be found in the Chairman Comer Statement on Transcribed Interview with Alexander Acosta.
