The White House is engaged in 'a massive cover up' · INSIGHT TODAY

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Jown. I mean now was the New York Democratic Congressman
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Dan Goldman. He's a member of the House Judiciary Homeland
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Security Committee as a former federal prosecutor. So Congressman the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: White House says these emails proved nothing. Clearly, they raise
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: questions do you think they do prove anything?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: They absolutely prove something, which is that Donald Trump knew
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: about Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking ring. And I say
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: that because I point to the twenty eleven email with
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Glaine Maxwell where Jeffrey Epstein wrote to Glaine about the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: dog that hasn't barked Donald Trump and that he spent
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: hours with Virginia Jeuffrey in his house, and Gilaine Maxwell says,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I have been thinking about that now. The reason why
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: that to me stands out is that these are two
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: co conspirators discussing something that would be detrimental to their
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: own case. It would be admissible in court because of that,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And it's in twenty eleven, before Donald Trump was running
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: for president, or you could claim that Jeffrey Epstein was
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: trying to get him back. And so that just confirms
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: what we have suspected from the two thousand and two
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: fiftieth birthday letter and the two thousand and three quote
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump where he said that he knows Jeffrey
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Epstein likes girls on the younger side, and it further
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: confirms that those DOJ Epstein files are going to be
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: full of references to Donald Trump. Maybe it's benign, maybe
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it's his knowledge of it, maybe it's more. But there
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: is no question that what we have seen over the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: last six months is a massive cover up effort by
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump to prevent the release of the DOJ's Epstein
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: files as opposed to these files from the estate.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that that is why? You know, Cash
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Mattel looked like a deer in headlights soon after coming
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the FBI director, when months he'd been on podcasts before
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: having any actual power talking about, you know, really getting
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: those files have got to be released. It's all up
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to the FBI director. It's the people in power who
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: am keeping it. And then as soon as he's in power,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: suddenly he's singing a different tune along with Dan Bongino.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you hit the nail on the head. Anderson, Cash,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Betel and Dan Bongino spent all of twenty twenty four
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: harping on a conspiracy theory about the Epstein files and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: how they need to be released right away. Pam Bondi
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: then pretends, or it says, that she's releasing the Epstein
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: files in February, and then when called out and said no,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you're not releasing anything new, she made a big hullabaloo
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: about how Cash Pattel had not given her anything and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: she wants it on her desk. And the next day
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and a memo about what happened, and they FBI agents
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: spent thousands of hours going through it to try to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: redact it, and then all of a sudden, dead silence,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. Crickets is that they went through it and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: realized that Donald Trump is all over it, and then
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Bondi went and told Donald Trump that he's in it,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and they have gone into a massive, massive cover up
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: scheme to try to keep the DOJ files from being released.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Next week, it seems like we are going to vote
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: on having those files released, and we'll see what the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Senate does whether they want to engage in Donald Trump's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: cover up just to protect himself, or whether they are
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: going to listen to the American people and the victims
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and their survivors who are asking for those files to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: be released.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Consman Goldman, Thanks very much, David. At this point, I mean,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the steady drip of Epstein news cannot possibly be beneficial
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the White House. Why do you think the president's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: top officials have been fighting this effort to release the files?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Anderson, I have no idea. I like many others of
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the party, I think we just like to see it
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: be dumped a long time ago, get everything out there,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: it is out there. Let the cards probably am I
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: let's let's, you know, let's put this behind us. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: think what I've repeatedly said, Anderson, I think the most
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: important thing. I'm sure these files are interesting. I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: think they're going to be damning for the president. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: think there was anything in there that that would have
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: been leaked out by the past administration over the four
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: years that they were in there. But but I always
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: keep saying, like, why don't we just call them the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: prosecutors who did this, who did this case? The federal
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: prosecutors in Southern District of Miami, the US attorney and
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: let's ask them why they gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: That's I think the most important question here, why did
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: you get a sweetheart deal?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: What were the causes behind that? Not so much what's
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: in these files at this point? I mean, I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: everything it's is there is going to be out, is
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: out at this point. But just dump it, get it out.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, the President ran on it. I think people
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: want to know Republicans Democrats, and it is not getting better.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It might go away after the House has this vote.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: The Senate's not going to take it up. The President. Sure,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: they won't sign it, so it'll become a moot point
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: at some point soon. But they're a big part of
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the Maga verse and others that you want to see transparency.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Bakari, I mean it'sition because David was talking about the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: prosecutors down in Florida. One of them had reportedly been
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: prepared to have a multi count i mean dozens of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: account indictment, but that was not taken up by the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: lead attorney obviously, who has has appeared before Congress. Do
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you see any alternative strategy the White House can adopt
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: besides releasing the files? Obviously, I mean if the president,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: if they did pass the Senate and it got as
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: far as the President's desk, which is David says, is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: highly unlikely. Do you think the ramifications of him not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: saying not release them would be great?
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: So there is an alternative strategy. I think you just
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: laid it out, which is just to kind of let
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: time heal all. The problem is this is a bit
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: that Donald Trump has made. I mean, he's been talking
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: about the Epstein file since twenty fifteen, and I think
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: that it becomes a little bit more complicated than what
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: my good friend David Urban said when you're talking about
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: just ha the prosecutor who gave him the sweetheart deal,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: come and testify in front of Congress. Because now we
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: have evidence that Julane Maxwell is getting a sweetheart deal
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: currently as she's sitting in federal prison and she's in
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: accommodations that are not necessarily deemed for those who are
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: child sex offenders or child sex traffickers, and so it
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: becomes a little bit more complicated than that. And we
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: also know that she's sat down with Todd Blanche for
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I believe nine hours, and we know that the comment
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: she gave Deputy Attorney General Blanche are diametrically opposed to
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: the emails that came out, and so, yeah, I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: that the only thing that you can do. People always
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: say that sunshine is the best disinfectant. Right now, there
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: is a great deal of hesitancy, not just from the
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: magabase but everyone. And then you have other politics at play.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, you have people like Nancy Mace who signed
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: on to the discharged position petition and she's running for
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: governor of the state of South Carolina. I mean that
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: somebody else, for example, gets that endorsement. So there's so
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: many politics at play. But at the end of the day,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: one of the things that we know to be a
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: fact is that Donald Trump powed around with the most
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: notorious sex offender we have in the country, and he
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: is reticent to giving the American public the full context
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: of that relationship and Jeffrey Epstein's relationships with others.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: David, why wouldn't the president just I mean, he's been
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: asked multiple times about commuting Gilla Maxwell's sentence. Why wouldn't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: he just say, yeah, no, she's a convicted sex offender,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: or it's not something I would I mean, he's talked about, Oh,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to the Justice Department. I don't know anything
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: about it, which is what he.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Often says, Hey, Anderson, I don't have an answer for you.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, I dispute with what McCary says.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I listen at the end of the day, when all
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: this gets out there, I don't think Donald Trump's going
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to have any fingerprints anywhere on these documents. Obviously, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: can't be certain. I've not reviewed thirty thousand plus pages
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: or whatever there is left remaining. But again, I would
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: suspect that during the four years of the Biden administration,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: if there were some damning you know, Anderson, you and
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I and Bacari, we sat and watched Donald Trump be
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: let into courtroom after courtroom by Democrats, you know, in power,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: trying to take the guy down. If there was a
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: kernel of something in there that could take Donald Trump down,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: it would have been leaked already, many, many years ago.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: So I think they should dump it, get over it,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: move past it quickly, move on to things that people
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: care about in America, like you know, pocketbook issues that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you know, their inflation and jobs. And I think this
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: administration would do well to get to that point, start
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: talking about the things they're doing and make people's lives better.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: David Irvian Cory sellers, thank you,
