Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Inside the White House Fallout Over the Epstein Files (Part 1)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Over at the New York Times, they have
- 0:07Speaker 1: a new article out discussing the inside freak out as
- 0:11Speaker 1: they call it, at the White House over the Epstein files,
- 0:15Speaker 1: and I have no doubt that there was all sorts
- 0:19Speaker 1: of freaking out, especially considering the way that they handled it.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Could it have been any worse? Honestly, I don't know
- 0:26Speaker 1: if anything has ever been handled more poorly by any
- 0:29Speaker 1: administration in the history of the country. And I'm not
- 0:33Speaker 1: even kidding when I say that, And then they have
- 0:35Speaker 1: the audacity to turn around and say to you, were
- 0:39Speaker 1: the most transparent administration in the history of the United States.
- 0:43Speaker 1: I mean, come on, they have to be trolling, right,
- 0:46Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you would think. But unfortunately, this
- 0:49Speaker 1: is the reality that we're living in and our lives
- 0:52Speaker 1: are being managed by a bunch of scoundrels that not
- 0:55Speaker 1: only broke bread with Jeffrey Epstein, but now have the
- 0:59Speaker 1: audio audacity to cover it all up. So today we're
- 1:03Speaker 1: going to dive into that New York Times article and
- 1:06Speaker 1: we're going to see what's up headlined inside the White
- 1:10Speaker 1: House freak Out over the Epstein Files. This article was
- 1:13Speaker 1: authored by Maggie Aberman and Jonathan Swan. On July seventeenth,
- 1:20Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, at around six o'clock in the evening,
- 1:23Speaker 1: President Trump's top officials filed into the White House Situation Room,
- 1:27Speaker 1: the secure bunker where classified in high stakes national security
- 1:31Speaker 1: matters are discussed and decided. This was where President Barack Obama,
- 1:37Speaker 1: along with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and the president's national security team watched the raid that
- 1:44Speaker 1: ended with the death of Osama bin Laden in twenty eleven. Now, however,
- 1:49Speaker 1: Trump's most senior advisors had gathered without them to figure
- 1:53Speaker 1: out how to gain some measure of control over a
- 1:55Speaker 1: very different kind of crisis threatening to engulf the presidency.
- 2:00Speaker 1: The Epstein Files. I've never seen an administration fumble so badly.
- 2:07Speaker 1: They had everything queued up. They were going around during
- 2:11Speaker 1: the campaign talking about how they're going to release all
- 2:13Speaker 1: the information, They're going to hold people accountable, They're going
- 2:16Speaker 1: to do this, They're going to do that. Then they
- 2:19Speaker 1: get into office, they get a look at the files
- 2:21Speaker 1: and they realize that their boy, Donald Trump and all
- 2:24Speaker 1: of his friends are littered throughout the documents. So of
- 2:28Speaker 1: course that caused Donald Trump to slam on the brakes
- 2:31Speaker 1: and kill the process before it even got off the ground.
- 2:34Speaker 1: That was the goal, and if it wasn't for the
- 2:37Speaker 1: discharge petition, it would have worked. And if you were
- 2:40Speaker 1: wondering why Trump was so mad at Thomas Massey, that's why.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Because without Thomas Massey and Roe Conna, and without Lauren Bobert,
- 2:50Speaker 1: Nancy Mace, without Marjorie Taylor Green, we never get a
- 2:53Speaker 1: look at this. So look, I'm not a big fan
- 2:56Speaker 1: of all those people when it comes to all their politics, right,
- 3:00Speaker 1: but when it comes to this issue, mad respect all
- 3:03Speaker 1: of them. They all stood up when everybody else was
- 3:06Speaker 1: sitting down. Where were the rest of the members of
- 3:08Speaker 1: the GOP. Oh that's right? Too scared to Donald Trump
- 3:11Speaker 1: to stand up for people who have been victimized. And
- 3:13Speaker 1: I don't just mean the survivors, I mean all of us.
- 3:17Speaker 1: These people have been stealing from us hand over fist
- 3:20Speaker 1: for decades. But I guess that's no big deal either.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Ten days earlier, the Justice Department in the FBI had
- 3:28Speaker 1: jointly released a memo that bluntly stated that their review
- 3:31Speaker 1: had found no client list of powerful men for whom
- 3:34Speaker 1: the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had allegedly procured underage girls
- 3:39Speaker 1: and young women. No, I don't think there's a list,
- 3:41Speaker 1: but I can give you two names right off the
- 3:43Speaker 1: top of my head that girls were trafficked to, Jean
- 3:47Speaker 1: lu Brunel and Jess Stay. Jess Stale already admitted that
- 3:52Speaker 1: he had consensual sex with one of Epstein's assistants, and
- 3:56Speaker 1: if it's somebody that was also a victim, well there
- 3:58Speaker 1: you go. And on Fortunately, Jean Luke Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein,
- 4:03Speaker 1: they had a revolving door of girls that were being
- 4:05Speaker 1: abused between the two of them. And never mind all
- 4:08Speaker 1: the other scumbags that got involved. Should we talk about
- 4:10Speaker 1: George Mitchell or Bill Richardson or Glenn Dubin or a
- 4:13Speaker 1: Les Wexner, because all of them have been credibly accused,
- 4:19Speaker 1: no investigation, nobody being brought in, nothing. And so with
- 4:22Speaker 1: just those two dudes alone, it shows you that Jeffrey
- 4:25Speaker 1: Epstein traffic girls to other people. How many more people
- 4:28Speaker 1: do you want? How many other co conspirators would make
- 4:31Speaker 1: it trafficking? For you? Intended to put to rest years
- 4:34Speaker 1: of speculation and then a pressure campaign to release the
- 4:37Speaker 1: voluminous material in the department's possession. The memo instead had
- 4:41Speaker 1: the opposite effect, setting off a backlash that was notably
- 4:45Speaker 1: loud among the Magabase. Look, people should be giving credit
- 4:49Speaker 1: for that. The people that are MAGA, the people that
- 4:53Speaker 1: were a MEGA who decided that Donald Trump calling them
- 4:57Speaker 1: a trader was too much, that Donald Trum I'm trying
- 5:00Speaker 1: to cover this up was too much. Those people should
- 5:03Speaker 1: be applauded. It's not easy to go against you know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: all your friends and all your other beliefs and all
- 5:08Speaker 1: that stuff. So we should give them some credit. Right,
- 5:12Speaker 1: So get to have a little grace. Not everybody's your enemy.
- 5:14Speaker 1: And I've told you a million times you're gonna have
- 5:17Speaker 1: to work with people that you might not agree with
- 5:19Speaker 1: politically on a whole host of issues to get something
- 5:22Speaker 1: done here. But that's how politics works, right, That's what
- 5:26Speaker 1: Detonte is. You don't have negotiations with people that you
- 5:30Speaker 1: agree with. You negotiate with people that you might have
- 5:33Speaker 1: some disagreements with. And the best way to do that
- 5:36Speaker 1: is to find some middle ground. And if going after
- 5:39Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and his network is not middle ground, then
- 5:42Speaker 1: I don't know what is and it was about to
- 5:46Speaker 1: get worse. The Wall Street Journal was preparing a damaging
- 5:49Speaker 1: article about Trump's relationship with Epstein. The President's desperate attempts
- 5:54Speaker 1: to kill the story had filled. His team now had
- 5:57Speaker 1: to get everyone onto the same page about how to
- 5:59Speaker 1: count or the growing swarm of attention. They needed a
- 6:03Speaker 1: gesture of transparency to appease an increasingly angry base, but
- 6:07Speaker 1: also a way to convey the message that the president
- 6:10Speaker 1: was sympathetic to a supporter's concerns, which itself was a
- 6:13Speaker 1: problem because he clearly wasn't. Well, that's true. He called
- 6:17Speaker 1: ass all traders, he said, anybody who's following along with
- 6:20Speaker 1: this is his enemy. Basically, imagine the president of the
- 6:24Speaker 1: United States being mad because people want accountability for a
- 6:27Speaker 1: human trafficker, Like, have we fallen that far where people
- 6:32Speaker 1: hear this, look at this and just shrug their shoulders
- 6:35Speaker 1: and they're like, ah, yeah, you know what, he has
- 6:36Speaker 1: a point. No, he doesn't have a point. He's trying
- 6:39Speaker 1: to cover this up. And this is what I've been
- 6:41Speaker 1: telling you guys. Everybody wants that splashy gatcha moment, but
- 6:45Speaker 1: in the real world, this sort of shit is messy,
- 6:47Speaker 1: it's not splashy, and a lot of times it's not salacious.
- 6:51Speaker 1: You get people like this on financial crimes, you get
- 6:55Speaker 1: them on covering up for other people. That's how it's
- 7:00Speaker 1: always worked, and for all these people that have been
- 7:02Speaker 1: carrying on about Donald Trump now for eight years, with
- 7:04Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy stuff, Russia, pgate, you name it.
- 7:08Speaker 1: But what you have here is an actual cover up,
- 7:12Speaker 1: and instead of focusing on that, you have people focusing
- 7:14Speaker 1: on other things that are unprovable. Now that doesn't mean
- 7:18Speaker 1: I don't believe that it happened, but it's not what
- 7:21Speaker 1: I believe. It's about what we can prove. And I
- 7:24Speaker 1: don't think you need to be some kind of famous
- 7:26Speaker 1: investigator to realize that the fix is in and that
- 7:30Speaker 1: there's a gigantic cover up being run and managed directly
- 7:34Speaker 1: by the White House. And I thoroughly believe that Vice
- 7:40Speaker 1: President JD. Vance took a seat at the head of
- 7:42Speaker 1: the table in the John F. Kennedy conference room of
- 7:45Speaker 1: the Situation Room complex. This is a huge problem, he
- 7:48Speaker 1: told the group. A right around him where the White
- 7:51Speaker 1: House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, the White House Council
- 7:54Speaker 1: David Warrington, the Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, the Deputy Chief
- 7:59Speaker 1: of Staff Taylor Buddha Witch, the Communications Director Stephen Chung,
- 8:04Speaker 1: the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Associate Attorney General
- 8:08Speaker 1: Todd Baby Billy Blanche, and the Deputy Chief of Staff
- 8:12Speaker 1: James Blair. Attorney General Pound Bondi, and the FBI Director
- 8:16Speaker 1: Cash Pttel joined on speakerphone. The Vice President appeared panicked
- 8:21Speaker 1: to others in the room about the way the subject
- 8:23Speaker 1: of Epstein was already dividing the MAGA coalition. Yo, he
- 8:27Speaker 1: knows what's up, one hundred percent. He knows. This whole
- 8:33Speaker 1: entire thing has caused big problems. And I think there's
- 8:38Speaker 1: a lot of people that are going to be sitting
- 8:40Speaker 1: out the midterms because of it, and I think it's
- 8:42Speaker 1: going to have disastrous repercussions for the GOP. Some senior
- 8:49Speaker 1: officials had the impression that Vance had brought into the
- 8:53Speaker 1: darkest theories about Epstein and a cabal of predators hidden
- 8:56Speaker 1: within the country's ruling class. Well, is that wrong. Maybe
- 9:00Speaker 1: not to the level that some people are trying to
- 9:02Speaker 1: make it out, but predators. Nonetheless, what being predators in
- 9:06Speaker 1: a financial sense is okay? I mean, people just don't
- 9:11Speaker 1: get it, and it drives me crazy. Breaking news. Were
- 9:16Speaker 1: all slaves, every last one of us. You got debt congratulations.
- 9:20Speaker 1: You're a slave, and you're a slave to Jeffrey Epstein's people,
- 9:24Speaker 1: the same people, by the way, that ruined the whole
- 9:26Speaker 1: entire world in two thousand and eight. So if you
- 9:28Speaker 1: think this is just about girls being trafficked or kids
- 9:31Speaker 1: being abused, you have not been paying attention. Wiles would
- 9:35Speaker 1: tell others that the Vice President had proved himself to
- 9:38Speaker 1: be a major conspiracy theorist. Another top official said later
- 9:43Speaker 1: that Vance had been pounding on the Epstein issue since
- 9:46Speaker 1: the release of the memo. He was privately pressing for
- 9:49Speaker 1: the administration to release all the Epstein files, everything in
- 9:52Speaker 1: the Justice Department's possession, even encouraging a congressional investigation. And look,
- 9:57Speaker 1: he's not wrong for that. I think that President Vance
- 10:01Speaker 1: is on point. And that was the campaign promise that
- 10:04Speaker 1: was made by the administration. So I think that Vance
- 10:07Speaker 1: is just trying to live up to that promise right now. Look,
- 10:10Speaker 1: don't take it for I think Vance is doing a
- 10:12Speaker 1: great job or I support him. I don't. But of
- 10:15Speaker 1: all these robber barons that populate Donald Trump's administration. It
- 10:20Speaker 1: looks like Vance is the only one that even cared.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Vance told the group that he believed that all files
- 10:24Speaker 1: should be released as soon as possible. He argued that
- 10:27Speaker 1: Congress was going to force the release of the files eventually.
- 10:30Speaker 1: It was already clear that a bipartisan coalition in favor
- 10:33Speaker 1: of subch action was forming on Capitol Hill, and the
- 10:37Speaker 1: momentum was going in one direction. If the administration got
- 10:41Speaker 1: out ahead of this and released everything voluntarily, including whatever
- 10:44Speaker 1: material existed about the president, it would at least get
- 10:48Speaker 1: credit for transparency. The alternative was to let the story
- 10:52Speaker 1: drag on for months, as information dripped out, each new revelation,
- 10:55Speaker 1: renewing a cycle of suspicion and fury. Better to rip
- 10:59Speaker 1: the bandage off and move on, yo. They would have
- 11:02Speaker 1: been so much better served to listen to jd Vance.
- 11:06Speaker 1: He had the right of it here. Get out ahead
- 11:09Speaker 1: of it. Look, it might be embarrassing, and it might
- 11:12Speaker 1: cause you some grief, But the more you hide it,
- 11:15Speaker 1: the more you act like nothing's going on, the worse
- 11:18Speaker 1: it gets when people figure out that they've been bullshitted.
- 11:22Speaker 1: And I think Jay d Vance was hip to that.
- 11:24Speaker 1: But Unfortunately, the rest of the administration is dancing to
- 11:27Speaker 1: Donald Trump's tune. Vance even floated to colleagues an extraordinary
- 11:35Speaker 1: pr gambit that the White House and list Tucker Carlson
- 11:38Speaker 1: to interview Epstein's longtime girlfriend and co conspirator Glenn Maxwell
- 11:42Speaker 1: in prison. It might help the president if Maxwell was
- 11:45Speaker 1: willing to state that Trump had not been part of
- 11:48Speaker 1: any wrongdoing with Epstein. Well, that's a bad idea. That
- 11:52Speaker 1: was stupid, because nobody believes Glenn Maxwell. Only the people
- 11:56Speaker 1: that want to believe what Trump's saying, Right, It's all
- 11:59Speaker 1: about confirmation bias with a lot of people. Me. I'm
- 12:02Speaker 1: following the evidence wherever it goes, and the evidence certainly
- 12:06Speaker 1: looks like Donald Trump is engaging in a cover up.
- 12:09Speaker 1: That's what the evidence is telling me. And the more
- 12:11Speaker 1: we hear from insiders, the more we hear about what
- 12:14Speaker 1: was going on on the ground, the more convinced of
- 12:17Speaker 1: it I am. Even unsubstantiated allegations and anecdotes about Trump
- 12:21Speaker 1: should go out. Vans argued they were going to surface regardless,
- 12:25Speaker 1: and if the administration published them first, it would demonstrate
- 12:28Speaker 1: good faith and take the oxygen out of the conspiracy theories.
- 12:32Speaker 1: His arguments fell on skeptical ears, but some advisers thought
- 12:36Speaker 1: it would be good to have Justice Department officials call
- 12:39Speaker 1: a news conference to explain their position on the Epstein affair,
- 12:43Speaker 1: going beyond the memo that precipitated the crisis. At this
- 12:47Speaker 1: point in the meeting, Blair spoke up. With all due respect,
- 12:50Speaker 1: he said, the communication strategy of this group got us here.
- 12:55Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to get us out. And
- 12:57Speaker 1: if you're going to go in front of the press,
- 12:59Speaker 1: you've got had a lot of work to do. He
- 13:02Speaker 1: began to ask pointed mock questions, demonstrating how difficult a
- 13:05Speaker 1: news conference might be. As the president's former defense attorney,
- 13:10Speaker 1: Blanche had a unique vantage point in the discussions. He
- 13:13Speaker 1: was better equipped than anybody else in the room the
- 13:15Speaker 1: way the idea is being discussed against Trump's personal and
- 13:19Speaker 1: political interests. Blanche laid out what he saw as their
- 13:23Speaker 1: best option. And here's how the cover up works. Donald
- 13:26Speaker 1: Trump gives Blanche the orders, and then Blanche puts him
- 13:30Speaker 1: into action. And then later on down the road, if
- 13:32Speaker 1: anybody says, hey, Trump told him to do that, he
- 13:35Speaker 1: has plausible deniability. And to also say that our conversations
- 13:38Speaker 1: were privileged. So it gives Trump that armor, but it
- 13:42Speaker 1: sets Todd Blanche up to take the fall, and I
- 13:45Speaker 1: think that that might occur at some point. I think
- 13:48Speaker 1: that if there's a real investigation into this cover up,
- 13:51Speaker 1: I think that Todd Blanche is going to be the
- 13:53Speaker 1: one that's holding the hot potato. Option one was to
- 13:58Speaker 1: petition federal district courts in Florida and New York to
- 14:01Speaker 1: unseal grand jury testimony the secret transcripts of prosecutors, presentational witnesses,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and evidence in their efforts to obtain indictments in past
- 14:09Speaker 1: Epstein related cases, as those were almost certain to contain
- 14:14Speaker 1: no significant new information. Everyone agreed that this option was
- 14:17Speaker 1: a good idea, and not only because the release was
- 14:20Speaker 1: unlikely to damage the president. And look, there's no doubt
- 14:25Speaker 1: that that was the goal. We talked about it at
- 14:27Speaker 1: the time, and I told you that the whole entire
- 14:29Speaker 1: point of what they were looking to do was to
- 14:32Speaker 1: slow things down and then of course get some information
- 14:36Speaker 1: out there that is recycled. Then they can say, look,
- 14:40Speaker 1: we're working hard to get you all this information. We're
- 14:43Speaker 1: doing everything in our power every single day to be transparent. Meanwhile,
- 14:48Speaker 1: behind the scenes they're doing everything, but under the federal
- 14:54Speaker 1: rules of criminal procedure, the secrecy of grand jury material
- 14:57Speaker 1: is regarded by most federal judges as almost always inviolate,
- 15:03Speaker 1: and the bar for any release is exceptionally I if
- 15:06Speaker 1: the court refused to unseal them, as Blanche predicted, they
- 15:09Speaker 1: could shift blame for withholding the Epstein material away from
- 15:12Speaker 1: the Trump administration and onto the judges. Exactly what they
- 15:16Speaker 1: tried to do, and exactly what I pointed out at
- 15:18Speaker 1: the time, and all the better if the judges had
- 15:23Speaker 1: been appointed by Democratic presidents. Blant's suggestion would make it
- 15:26Speaker 1: appear that the White House wanted the materials released when
- 15:29Speaker 1: it was almost certain not to happen. We call that
- 15:32Speaker 1: a cover up where I'm from. Option number two was
- 15:36Speaker 1: to have Justice Department lawyers questioned Maxwell and publicly release
- 15:40Speaker 1: the transcript. A twist on the idea proposed earlier by Vance.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Blanche offered to interview Maxwell himself. What if we get
- 15:48Speaker 1: her to talk to Congress, Vance suggested. Blanche raised the
- 15:51Speaker 1: possibility that Maxwell's lawyer might expect something in return for
- 15:55Speaker 1: her candor Oh she got it, didn't she? Nice little
- 15:58Speaker 1: move down the club fed everything's all good for Glaine Warrington.
- 16:04Speaker 1: The White House Council responded by laying out the available
- 16:06Speaker 1: choices without advocating any of them. Maxwell could be given
- 16:10Speaker 1: a pardon, he said, or she could have her sentence reduced.
- 16:14Speaker 1: At that several around the table spoke up to register
- 16:17Speaker 1: they're strong disapproval. Pardoning Maxwell a trafficker of young girls
- 16:21Speaker 1: would create a huge pr problem. Cheng said. He predicted
- 16:25Speaker 1: that in the wake of a pardon, the Epstein accusers
- 16:28Speaker 1: would be fanning out on TV telling their stories have
- 16:31Speaker 1: rippen the administration to shreds. Blair was also adamantly opposed
- 16:36Speaker 1: to a pardon. We can't offer Glenn Maxwell anything, he said.
- 16:39Speaker 1: I don't know why we would, and be if we
- 16:42Speaker 1: give Glenn Maxwell any sort of break whatsoever, and then
- 16:45Speaker 1: she turns around and says nice things about us, or
- 16:47Speaker 1: says nice things about us and we give her a break,
- 16:50Speaker 1: it'll undermine the entire point of her saying good things.
- 16:53Speaker 1: That'll feed the conspiracy theory. Period. If there's nothing for
- 16:56Speaker 1: her to say that hurts us, we shouldn't have to
- 16:59Speaker 1: offer her anything. That's a pretty fair assessment. No, The
- 17:04Speaker 1: consensus was that calling for the release of the grand
- 17:06Speaker 1: jury material was the best course of action. Wyles told
- 17:10Speaker 1: the group she would discuss the matter with Trump and
- 17:12Speaker 1: ask if you would send a truth social post calling
- 17:15Speaker 1: for the release of the sealed grand jury documents. Just then,
- 17:19Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal article they had been trying to
- 17:21Speaker 1: kill was published online. Cell phones are forbidden in the
- 17:24Speaker 1: situation room, so a staff member brought in printed copies
- 17:28Speaker 1: of the explosive report, which detailed how Trump and many
- 17:32Speaker 1: others had created birthday cards and letters to be assembled
- 17:35Speaker 1: by Maxwell into a special birthday book for Epstein in
- 17:38Speaker 1: two thousand and three. The birthday card attributed to Trump
- 17:42Speaker 1: depicted a nude woman, hand drawn and inscribed with an
- 17:45Speaker 1: imagined dialogue between the two men about a wonderful secret.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Imagine a wonderful secret? Is it? The drawing was signed
- 17:54Speaker 1: with what appeared to be Trump's distinctive jagged sharpie signature
- 17:57Speaker 1: in a place of the woman. Subicare another part of
- 18:01Speaker 1: the cover up that looks to be provable. If this
- 18:07Speaker 1: was something that was forged, why is there no investigation?
- 18:10Speaker 1: You would think, like I've said a million times, that
- 18:12Speaker 1: if the President of the United States is being impersonated
- 18:15Speaker 1: by someone, we should probably know, and there should be
- 18:18Speaker 1: a gigantic investigation into who and why. We haven't seen
- 18:22Speaker 1: that though, have we? Well that's weird considering Donald Trump
- 18:26Speaker 1: likes to use the FBI to go after everybody, but
- 18:29Speaker 1: not the people that allegedly forged this letter, seems a
- 18:32Speaker 1: bit suspect to me. In the days before publication, Trump,
- 18:36Speaker 1: in the effort to quash the story, called News Corp
- 18:39Speaker 1: Executive Robert Thompson, News Corp Owner Rubert Murdoch, the Journal's
- 18:44Speaker 1: editor in chief Emma Tucker, practically shouting. The President told Tucker,
- 18:48Speaker 1: who was British, that she must hate America. He told
- 18:51Speaker 1: her he would file a lawsuit. But none of his
- 18:54Speaker 1: bullying has worked, and now the group sat quietly reading
- 18:57Speaker 1: the full story in the situation room, whiles ready to
- 19:01Speaker 1: public denial for the President, which he soon posted on
- 19:04Speaker 1: social media. Shortly after this, the President posted again he
- 19:08Speaker 1: was going along with the plan his advisers had hashed
- 19:11Speaker 1: out in the situation Room, though it was clear he
- 19:14Speaker 1: didn't like having to do it. Based on the ridiculous
- 19:17Speaker 1: amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I've asked Attorney
- 19:21Speaker 1: General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand
- 19:24Speaker 1: jury testimony subject to court approval. This scam perpetuated by
- 19:28Speaker 1: the Democrats should end right now. Scam. Imagine calling this
- 19:32Speaker 1: a scam. No, mister President, the only scam that's being
- 19:36Speaker 1: run is the one you're running on the American people.
- 19:41Speaker 1: In response to a request for comment, a White House
- 19:43Speaker 1: spokeswoman Abigail Jackson repeated Trump's claim that he was innocent
- 19:47Speaker 1: in all Epstein related matters, adding that by releasing thousands
- 19:50Speaker 1: of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee
- 19:54Speaker 1: subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling
- 19:59Speaker 1: for more investigation into Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has
- 20:03Speaker 1: done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him. Why
- 20:06Speaker 1: don't you ask the survivors how they feel about that comment,
- 20:09Speaker 1: because I assure you they do not agree. All right, folks,
