James Comer Hints at the Epic Behind-the-Scenes Effort Targeting the Deep State [WATCH]

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is backing efforts by President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members to address internal resistance within federal agencies, describing the situation as a major but underreported battle.

Speaking recently with Full Measure, Comer detailed how officials such as Brooke Rollins at the Department of Agriculture and Attorney General Pam Bondi are facing significant internal challenges as they work to implement President Trump’s policies.

“Whether it’s Brooke Rollins at Agriculture or Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice, they’re having to fight a lot of internal battles that really haven’t made it into the mainstream media yet,” Comer said.

One of the initiatives Comer highlighted is a newly launched House Oversight Committee task force led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL).

The task force’s goal is to identify and question federal bureaucrats who did not comply with Trump administration directives during his first term, including orders related to the release of classified documents such as the John F. Kennedy assassination files.

“Our task force is trying to reach out and question the bureaucrats, figure out which bureaucrat didn’t comply with the orders,” Comer explained.

“The same thing happened with the [Jeffrey] Epstein files when Pam Bondi thought she was releasing the Epstein files. It really wasn’t the Epstein files, obviously.”

Comer also disclosed that even now, efforts to obtain Epstein-related documents have faced delays, despite Republican control at the Department of Justice.

“I heard that 10,000 times over the past two years: ‘Well, we can’t turn that over,’” Comer said.

“‘There’s an ongoing investigation.’ We’re hearing that with the Epstein files now in this administration,” he added.

When Full Measure asked, “Who’s telling you that?” Comer responded: “Well, whoever replies to our letter or subpoena, that’s what they say. ‘There’s an ongoing investigation.’ They say, ‘We’re gonna release it. We’re in the process of releasing it. We’ve just gotta make sure nothing is released that compromises the ongoing investigation.’”

Beyond specific document releases, Comer described broader concerns with what he referred to as the “Deep State” operating within the federal government, obstructing oversight efforts and influencing agency actions without public accountability.

“We have a Deep State list, [and] we believe these employees need to be deposed at the very least to see, you know, to answer basic questions like: ‘Why did you cover up this?’ ‘Why did you provide this statement?’ ‘Why did you sign the letter saying that laptop was Russian disinformation when you knew darn well it was not Russian disinformation?’” Comer said.

“We’ll have public hearings, we’ll do whatever, but we need to work with the Department of Justice.”

Comer also noted that the Justice Department has not yet approved the committee’s broader investigative plans, but said the Oversight Committee remains committed to pressing forward with its inquiries.

The ongoing investigations into agency resistance, classified document handling, and allegations of politically motivated activity inside the government are expected to continue as major priorities for Comer and the House Oversight Committee during the current session.
