The email nickname "Brooklyn Barack" fits for all the wrong reasons.

Looks more like generic political campaign fund raising spam than Hakeem Jeffries inviting him to dinner.

Jeffries answer is 'haha me and Epstein that's so ridiculous am I right guys okay let's change the subject'

"Was that a serious question or a serious statement from malignant clown James Comer that I had Jeffrey Epstein over for dinner, that I accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein?" Jeffries said. "What's extraordinary to me about the clown show on the other side of the aisle is that they lie with impunity on things that are objectively verifiable."

On Wednesday, Jeffries did not directly answer whether he'd ever solicited donations from Epstein -- contending instead that Republicans "have been burying the Epstein files" for months.
