- 1:11Speaker 2: BI than Water gave question.
- 1:13Speaker 1: This goes over four administrations.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You don't have to go back to Biden. Let's go
- 1:18Speaker 2: back to Obama. Let's go back to George Bush.
- 1:20Speaker 1: This cover up spans decades, and you are responsible for
- 1:25Speaker 1: this portion of it, and.
- 1:26Speaker 4: That Bro Pam BONDI, why did you shut down this
- 1:30Speaker 4: investigation last yearly? And why have you not prosecuted former
- 1:33Speaker 4: Prince Andrew.
- 1:35Speaker 3: I don't believe you asked Merrik Garland these questions when
- 1:39Speaker 3: he was Attorney General.
- 1:40Speaker 4: And before I agree with you, claim my time.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I agree with you. I agree with you.
- 1:45Speaker 4: During the during the Biden administration, I called for people
- 1:50Speaker 4: looking at Epstein files. Merrick Garland dropped the ball, as
- 1:54Speaker 4: did Attorney General Bill Barr, as did Alex Acosta.
- 1:57Speaker 2: A whole string of failures. But you are in charge.
- 2:00Speaker 4: You have the power to change things, to hold these
- 2:02Speaker 4: men accountable, and you're doing the opposite. You're protecting them.
- 2:05Speaker 5: I really think that is a disgraceful approach to the
- 2:09Speaker 5: homicides of American citizens and it really does nothing to
- 2:14Speaker 5: bring credit to your department.
- 2:16Speaker 2: And mister Chairman, I would yield back. Yields back, may
- 2:19Speaker 2: I answer? Train General can respond.
- 2:21Speaker 3: I find it interesting that she keeps going after President Trump,
- 2:24Speaker 3: the greatest president in American history, and if they could
- 2:28Speaker 3: maintain their composure. This isn't a circus, this is a hearing.
- 2:33Speaker 3: I find it interesting she keeps going after Donald Trump.
- 2:35Speaker 3: She doesn't say how much money she took from reed.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Hoffman, did you Anne nor Well?
- 2:41Speaker 4: Mister Chairman, regular order, please.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Attorney General BONDI.
- 2:47Speaker 6: You apologize to the survivors and your opening statement for
- 2:51Speaker 6: what they went through at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.
- 2:54Speaker 6: Will you turn to them now and apologize for what
- 2:59Speaker 6: your Apartment of Justice has put them through with the
- 3:04Speaker 6: un absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Congresswoman, you set before Merrick Garland set in this chair twice.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Attorney General von I'm going to answer. No.
- 3:25Speaker 6: I'm going to reclaim my time because I asked you
- 3:28Speaker 6: the Attorney generalcific question I question to answer, which is,
- 3:34Speaker 6: will you turn to the survivors. This is not about
- 3:37Speaker 6: anybody that came before you. It is about you taking
- 3:40Speaker 6: responsibility for your Department of Justice and the harm that
- 3:45Speaker 6: it has done to the survivors who are standing right
- 3:49Speaker 6: behind you and are waiting for you to turn to
- 3:52Speaker 6: them and apologize for what your Department of Justices.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Members get to ask the questions, the witness gets to
- 3:59Speaker 1: answer in the way they want to answered it.
- 4:01Speaker 6: That's not accurate, mister chairman, because she doesn't like the answer.
- 4:05Speaker 7: So, mister Chairman, why I have asked she as at
- 4:10Speaker 7: Garland this I reclaimed, deminerclaimed.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Getting the gutter for her theatrics.
- 4:19Speaker 8: How much do you think the claims of these survivors
- 4:24Speaker 8: are worth? As the good Congressman from Kentucky just pointed out,
- 4:30Speaker 8: there were lots of survivors who had decided, for reasons
- 4:34Speaker 8: of their own, never to release their names. That determination
- 4:39Speaker 8: was representative people in Congress, and we built it into
- 4:41Speaker 8: our federal law that their names could not be released.
- 4:45Speaker 8: And yet you published their names, their phone numbers, their addresses,
- 4:49Speaker 8: personally identifying information. If Donald Trump can get ten billion
- 4:53Speaker 8: dollars theoretically from the Department of Justice, how much should
- 4:56Speaker 8: these people get for a far worse violation of their
- 5:01Speaker 8: privacy rights and a far greater danger established to them
- 5:05Speaker 8: in their lives.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Do you even know who Chase Mulligan is.
- 5:12Speaker 3: You're so obsessed with you.
- 5:14Speaker 2: They teach you the rules again. You're the Attorney Don
- 5:16Speaker 2: the United States. We have rules here with him.
- 5:18Speaker 8: You're the Attorney John in the United.
- 5:19Speaker 2: States, and the rules with Donald Trump Trump Derangement syndrome.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Mister Chairman, I'd like my time restored, My time restored
- 5:26Speaker 5: in your district
