Congressman Cohen Expresses Concern at Suggestion Jeffrey Epstein had Compromising Photographs of Trump

MEMPHIS - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, today expressed concern that the pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had compromising photographs of Donald Trump with topless young women and showed them to book author Michael Wolff. News of the photographs was reported Thursday evening in The Daily Beast, along with Trump campaign denunciations of the story.

At the July 24, 2024, Federal Bureau of Investigation Oversight Hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Cohen asked FBI Director Christopher Wray about the FBI's search of Jeffrey Epstein's home and what was found. After the hearing, Congressman followed up with Director Wray on this issue and submitted written questions for him about the Epstein case and evidence seized in searches of Epstein's homes. Among those questions:

"Did the FBI retrieve any evidence that prompted the agency to open a new criminal investigation with a target other than Epstein for alleged sexual abuse?

"Did the FBI recover any evidence that the FBI suspects Mr. Epstein held to blackmail others?

"Will you open up the FBI's records about your interactions with, and investigations of, Jeffrey Epstein?"

The FBI has not yet responded to those questions.
