‘Government Failed the Victims’: James Comer Unveils Plan to Close Epstein-Era Human Trafficking Loopholes

The House will likely consider a large anti-human trafficking bill following a wide-ranging investigation of government failures regarding wealthy convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The legislation will focus on defining human trafficking to prevent offenders from using loopholes and to ensure that someone who signed a nondisclosure agreement will still be required to report sexual misconduct, said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.

Comer spoke in an exclusive interview with the Daily Signal.

Comer led the probe into the government’s handling of Epstein’s case by the committee, which held interviews and depositions with dozens of people, many of them high-profile individuals, and gathered about 3 million documents.

“We also hope to have legislation that deals with human trafficking and to prevent some of the things that we think were allowed to happen, that the law is unclear on with some of these girls,” Comer told the Daily Signal. “It’s going to deal with human trafficking laws. It’s going to define grooming.”

He added, “It will also deal with non-disclosure agreements to where and if people knew about sexual misconduct, that they’re required to report it, even if there was a nondisclosure agreement.”
