## Transcript

Mr. president, do you support the Justice Department seeking a new interview with Ghislaine Maxwell? And did you urge the Attorney general to seek. I don't know anything about it. They're going to what. They're going to. There's your deputy attorney general is reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney asking for a new interview. Yeah, I don't know about it, but I think it's something that would be appropriate to do. Yeah. Do you have any concern that your deputy attorney general, who's your former attorney, would be conducting the interview given? No. I have no concern. He's very he's a very talented person.

He's very smart. I didn't know that they were going to do it. I don't really follow that too much. It's a it's sort of a witch hunt. Just a continuation of the witch hunt. The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama. Absolutely cold. Tulsi Gabbard, what they did to this country in 2016, starting in 2016, but going up all the way going up to 2020 and the election. They tried to rig the election and they got caught. And there should be very severe consequences for that.
