0:06

6 seconds

Congressman, you say you're now in a new phase of this investigation. What does that look like?

0:12

12 seconds

Look, we are now zeroing in on all of these locations where Jeffrey Epstein caused so much of his crime, abuse.

0:20

20 seconds

The way that he manipulated, raped, what he did to these girls, these women.

0:25

25 seconds

About 1 ,200 total has to be explored and investigated not just in New York at the Iveson Island but also clearly in Palm Beach.

0:36

36 seconds

Palm Beach is at the center of the story and this investigation, whether it was women that were being recruited for Mar-a-Lago, whether it was the fact that Alex Acosta, the U .S.

0:44

44 seconds

attorney, essentially decided to not take the advice of the line THAT'S WHAT WE LEARNED YESTERDAY

0:54

54 seconds

WAS THAT AFTER 2008, AFTER HE GOT THE SWEETHEART DEAL WHERE THERE REALLY WAS NO CONSEQUENCE FOR EPSTEEN, HE CONTINUED HIS ABUSE FOR

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

WE ARE TALKING TO AND ENCOURAGING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PROSECUTORS THAT WERE ON THE GROUND AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE SUBPOENA AND WE ARE GOING TO GET JUSTICE FOR THE SURVIVORS.

1:17

1 minute, 17 seconds

SO ON THAT NOTE, GIVEN THE NEW REPORT ON THE SWEETHEART PLEA DEAL AND THE TESTIMONY YOU HEARD YESTERDAY, WILL YOUR COMMITTEE SUBPOENA ANYONE INVOLVED?

1:27

1 minute, 27 seconds

OUR INTENTION IS TO TALK TO ALL OF THE PROSECUTORS THAT WERE INVOLVED AND UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY RECOMMENDED CERTAIN ACTIONS

1:36

1 minute, 36 seconds

AGAINST CO-CONSPIATORS DEMOCRATS AND GERFERY EPSTEIN INCLUDING FEDERAL CHARGES THAT WERE QUITE SERIOUS.

1:40

1 minute, 40 seconds

AND THEN WHY THEN LABOR, THEN AT THE TIME, ALEX ACOSCHIA, U .S.

1:45

1 minute, 45 seconds

ATTORNEY COMPANY WHO BECOMES TRUMP'S LABOR SECRETARY.

1:48

1 minute, 48 seconds

WHY HE DECIDED INSTEAD TO ESSENTIALLY NOT ACCEPT ANY OF THOSE CHARGES AND GO FOR WE DON'T THINK ABOUT THIS REALLY LIGHT SENTENCE FOR EPSTEIN BECAUSE WE THEN KNOW THAT

1:56

1 minute, 56 seconds

EPSTEIN GOES ON AND ABUSES HUNDREDS I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF GERALS AND WOMEN, AND BEGIN INTERNATIONAL SEX TRAFFICKING

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

RING AFTER GETTING ESSENTIALLY SLAPPED ON THE WREST.

2:06

2 minutes, 6 seconds

SO ALL OF THIS POINTS BACK TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A COVER-UP.

2:09

2 minutes, 9 seconds

WHY WITH EPSON BEING PROTECTED BY RICH AND POWERFUL MEN? WHO WERE THESE OTHER CO-ConsPIRATORS?

2:15

2 minutes, 15 seconds

WHY HAVE THEY NEVER I DON'T THINK HE HAS EVER BEEN CHARGED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OR ANY COURT.

2:21

2 minutes, 21 seconds

WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE GLAINE MAXWELLUM PRISON OF WHICH TRUMP IS POSSIBLY CONSIDERING A PARDON AND NOW JEFFREY THERE ARE NUMEROUS MEN THAT ARE WALKING

2:29

2 minutes, 29 seconds

AROUND THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE RAPED WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

2:35

2 minutes, 35 seconds

THERE ARE NUMEROUS MEN THAT ARE WALKING AROUND THIS INVESTIGATIONS AND EVEN CHARGES BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE LEARNING?

2:44

2 minutes, 44 seconds

ABSOLUTELY.

2:45

2 minutes, 45 seconds

WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE CO-CONSPIRAITORS NAMED IN THE FILES.

2:49

2 minutes, 49 seconds

WE'RE WORKING ON THAT INVESTIGATION, BUT WE'RE ALSO ASKING, AND WE'VE BEEN PLEADING, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND ACTUALLY PUT SOME CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS IN PLACE.

2:58

2 minutes, 58 seconds

LOOK, THE DA, DA'S ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, WE KNOW THAT OTHER PROSECUTORS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY HAVE COME OUT AND ALL SUPPORTED

3:06

3 minutes, 6 seconds

CRIMINAL CHARGES, THE LEGAL COMMUNITY HAS COME OUT AND SAID THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE ACTION.

3:09

3 minutes, 9 seconds

BUT RIGHT NOW THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE DEPUTY DA WHO OF COURSE IS NOW THE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE DEPARTMENT

3:20

3 minutes, 20 seconds

THAT IS JUST B .S., THERE IS SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION HERE.

3:25

3 minutes, 25 seconds

WE'VE GOT TO DO A BETTER JOB OF ACTUALLY GETTING CONVICTIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THAT WHETHER WE'RE IN THE MINORITY OR MAJORITY I HAVE TO ASK YOU BECAUSE WE

3:33

3 minutes, 33 seconds

HEARD THAT HEARTBREAKING SOUND BITE EARLIER FROM ROSA.

3:35

3 minutes, 35 seconds

HOW IMPORTANT, HOW CRITICAL WAS HER TESTIMONY YESTERDAY?

3:41

3 minutes, 41 seconds

LOOK, THE TESTIMONY FROM THAT WAS TRAFFICED OBVIOUSLY FROM ABROAD, SHE WAS HEARTBREAKING.

3:44

3 minutes, 44 seconds

SHE HAD NOT PUBLICLY SHARED HER STORY IN THAT WAY.

3:47

3 minutes, 47 seconds

AND THE FACT THAT SHE IS SOMEONE THAT WAS TRAFFICED OBVIOUSLY FROM ABROAD, BROUGHT OVER. SHE IMMIGRATED HERE.

3:55

3 minutes, 55 seconds

SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD COME AND LIVE A LIFE OF MODELING AND SHE WAS TRAFFICED TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN

4:05

4 minutes, 5 seconds

AND AS WE ALL KNOW THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER JEFFREY EPSTEIN HAD THAT VERY FIRST SWEETHEART DEAL AND THAT HOUSE ARREST.

4:13

4 minutes, 13 seconds

HE WAS ABLE TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ADDITIONAL CRIMES, TRAFFIC MORE WOMEN, RAPE WOMEN HIMSELVES. IT IS HORRIFIC WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

4:21

4 minutes, 21 seconds

HER COURAGE ENCOURAGES US TO KEEP GOING.

4:23

4 minutes, 23 seconds

AND THERE ARE MORE WOMEN like Rosa that I believe will continue to come forward and share their stories.

4:28

4 minutes, 28 seconds

Yeah, I know she talked about how Jeffrey Epstein allegedly held her visa hostage, essentially.

4:35

4 minutes, 35 seconds

Congressman, former Attorney General Pam Bondi slated to talk to your COMMITTEE AT THE END OF THE MONTH. OBVIOUSLY, SHE'S NO LONGER A .G. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM HER?

4:44

4 minutes, 44 seconds

WELL, FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE NEED A COMMITMENT FROM CHAIRMAN COUMBER OF OVERSIGHT THAT HE'S GOING TO ENSURE THAT THIS INTERVIEW IS

4:53

4 minutes, 53 seconds

HE HAS THE ABILITY TO ENSURE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

4:58

4 minutes, 58 seconds

WE EXPECT THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ACTUALLY SHOW UP.

5:01

5 minutes, 1 second

WE EXPECT HER TO ANSWER WHY ONLY 50 WE NEED TO HEAR AN ANSWER FOR

5:11

5 minutes, 11 seconds

WHY SO MUCH INFORMATION, PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM THE SURVIVORS WAS ACTUALLY PUT OUT.

5:21

5 minutes, 21 seconds

THE SURVIVORS SPOKE ABOUT THIS IN THE HEARING IN PALM BEACH.

5:25

5 minutes, 25 seconds

WHY THEY DID A HORRIFIC JOB OF PROTECTING SURVIVORS YET WON'T RELEASE HALF THE FILES? THIS IS A WHITE HOUSE COVER-UP.

5:32

5 minutes, 32 seconds

WHO IS ORDERING THIS COVER-UP?

5:34

5 minutes, 34 seconds

WHO ORDERED GLAINE MAXWELL TO BE MOVED TO A LESS SECURE FACILITY?

5:39

5 minutes, 39 seconds

NO ONE HAS ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS AND YOU BEST BELIEVE THAT THOSE WILL BE ASKED TO THE FORMER RETURN IN GENERAL, WHEN SHE COMES TO SEE US HERE IN JUST A COUPLE WEEKS.

5:46

5 minutes, 46 seconds

HOW DO YOU PLAN TO COMPEL THE RELEASE OF THE REST OF THOSE FILES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW? THE LIE IS CLEAR.

5:54

5 minutes, 54 seconds

THERE'S NOT ONLY AN ACT THAT CONGRESS PASSED, THEY THAT IS A SUBPOENA THAT LEGALLY BINDS THE DOJ TO RELEASE ALL THESE FILES.

6:01

6 minutes, 1 second

SO TODD BLANCH RIGHT NOW IS BREAKING THE LAW AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE LIKE WE DID WITH PAM BONNY WHEN WE HELD HER

6:09

6 minutes, 9 seconds

TO HOLD HER IN CONTENT, WHICH IS WHY SHE'S NOW COMPELLED TO TESTIFY. THAT PROCESS IS GOING TO CONTINUE.

6:14

6 minutes, 14 seconds

WE'RE GOING TO ENSURE THAT TODD BLANCH COME BEFORE OUR COMMITTEE AND TESTIFY AND HE NEEDS TO do his job and release the rest of the files while, of course, protecting survivors' information.
