## Transcript

We're going to get the 218 signature today. That means by early December, we're going to get a full vote on the Epstein filed. And today, there were bombshell emails that came out showing that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were had emails about Donald Trump's knowledge of what was going on. So we need a full release of the files. Finally, that's going to happen. I mean, it's not surprising. I mean, this is this is a world that he was very much part of. It's not clear to what extent he was a part of that world. But like, you know, they interacted with each other. They seemed to be friends.

The guy who sort of let Epstein off ended up in Trump's cabinet. So it's not surprising at all that there's more information that connects these two. My sense is that it helps with the ongoing interest and transparency. Like most people want to see, uh, full transparency and the fact that days after Trump was named was told he was in the Epstein files, he then went and fired these prosecutors who were are handling the case at DOJ and remove them from the building and their offices. And it raises these questions like, did they do that to take the documents? And if so, what happens when we vote for the release of the FBI files?

Are they going to be able to produce it all? Why not release these files when Democrats were in power before, and why not before the election? Well, obviously I don't know what you know, what was there, but that's a good question, because I also think that during the last administration, all the files should have been released. And so I would love to ask Merrick Garland and others, why wasn't all why weren't all these files released when we had them in our possession? What I know today is that Donald Trump is a president, and he campaigned on releasing all the FBI files, obsessed about it. His vice president obsessed about it.

And now the white House is involved in a massive cover up. And we want to know why won't they release the files? All of this can get solved right now if they release all the files. Did the president ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein's house with a victim? Uh, these emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar a Lago until President Trump kicked him out, because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.

In this email you refer to with the name of a victim that was unredacted now and has since been reported on in this room. So I will go ahead and say it. Virginia Guthrie. And it was CBS's own reporting, Ouija, that recently wrote that Miss Guthrie maintained, and God rest her soul, that she maintained that there was nothing inappropriate she ever witnessed, that President Trump was always extremely professional and friendly to her. And so I think it's a question worth asking the Democrat Party. And you should all go ask them after this briefing of why they chose to redact that name of a victim who has already publicly made statements about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, is in is unfortunately no longer with us.

This administration has done more with respect to transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein than any administration ever. In fact, this administration, the Department of Justice, has turned over tens of thousands of documents to the American people. We are cooperating and showing support for the House Oversight Committee. That's part of the reason you are seeing these documents that were released today because of the House oversight committees and Republicans efforts to get these out to the public. This administration also moved. The Department of Justice also moved to unseal grand jury testimony, which we know.

Unfortunately, a judge declined those those requests. So this administration has done more than any. And it just shows how this is truly a manufactured hoax by the Democrat Party. For now, they're talking about it all of a sudden because President Trump is in the Oval Office. But when Joe Biden was sitting in there, the Democrats never brought this up. This wasn't an issue that they cared about because they actually don't care about the victims in these cases. They care about trying to score political points against President Trump.
