House Democrats CALL OUT former AG Bondi for Epstein files release

This video features Oversight Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia, providing remarks during a break in a transcribed interview with former Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the release of Epstein files.

Key takeaways from the Democrats' briefing include:

  • Critique of Proceedings: Democrats expressed frustration that the interview was not conducted under oath, not videotaped, and that transcripts were not immediately released to the public (0:27-0:46).
  • Allegations of a Cover-Up: Participants argued that the process is a "smoke screen" and a "cover-up." They highlighted that Department of Justice attorneys were present in the room and frequently intervened to prevent Bondi from answering questions, particularly those involving former President Donald Trump (8:17-9:48, 12:51-13:17).
  • Deflection to Others: Bondi allegedly referred many questions to acting AG Todd Blanch and claimed ignorance regarding specific details, such as the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a different facility (1:03-1:47, 3:04-3:34, 11:54-12:25).
  • Survivor Advocacy: Liz Stein, an Epstein survivor, emphasized that the partial release of files with problematic redactions has caused further trauma and does not prioritize the needs of victims (3:46-7:46).
  • Lack of Cooperation: The speakers noted that, aside from Chairman James Comer, no other Republicans attended the interview, which Democrats characterized as a failure to uphold their oversight responsibilities (10:04-10:28).

Next Steps: Democrats stated their intent to continue pursuing information, including requests to subpoena Todd Blanch and Cash Patel for further testimony regarding the handling of the files and potential redaction issues (24:43-25:23).

3 seconds
Great. Thank you. Um I'm ranking member Robert Garcia, Oversight Democrats. Uh I'm going to have some remarks and then
10 seconds
I'm going to have a few folks are also going to give some remarks and then I'll answer any questions. Uh we are on a break right now from the interview and
18 seconds
so I want to make sure that we answer some questions. Uh let me just start by um sharing with the American public uh where we're actually right now in this
25 seconds
transcribed interview. to repeat what we've continued to say. It is a shame and a disservice to the American people
32 seconds
that this interview is not being recorded, videotaped, and then released to the American public and that she was
39 seconds
not brought in under oath. We continue to say that this vid this should be recorded by video and released to the American public. And we're also asking
47 seconds
that Chairman Comr immediate immediately release the transcripts that right now are being done throughout today. I want
54 seconds
to also say just uh a few a few other things. It it is clear in just this this part of the of the interview
1 minute, 3 seconds
that she continues to push all of the investigation and the blame on acting AG Todd Blanch.
1 minute, 13 seconds
She said, and I quote, "Acting AG Blanch was managing the entire investigation." End quote. And what you're going to hear
1 minute, 21 seconds
in that interview and what she's saying here in her words and remarks is that it was Todd Blanch, the current acting AG
1 minute, 31 seconds
that was leading the Epstein investigation. And quite frankly, all of the mistakes that we saw, the
1 minute, 38 seconds
redactions, not protecting survivors, she continues to push that back onto the acting AG, Todd Blanch, who by the way
1 minute, 46 seconds
was Donald Trump's former personal lawyer.
1 minute, 48 seconds
I also personally asked the former AG five times and five different questions about her
1 minute, 57 seconds
conversations with President Trump, whether he directed her any at any given time on the Epstein files, what he knew,
2 minutes, 6 seconds
what he asked her to redact or not. And she refused to answer any questions about President Trump. In fact, she said
2 minutes, 13 seconds
that she would not speak or or respond to any questions that had anything to do with President Trump.
2 minutes, 21 seconds
It's also interesting that sitting next to her is DOJ Counsel, somebody that currently works for the Department of Justice, who on multiple occasions
2 minutes, 31 seconds
stepped in and told the former attorney general that she was not going to answer those questions and especially when we asked questions of what the president
2 minutes, 40 seconds
directed her to do. And so the DOJ is in there right now stopping questions about
2 minutes, 47 seconds
President Trump and about what happened in the release of these files and why so many survivors were doxed and their information of course released to the public.
2 minutes, 57 seconds
And let me also just say finally before I turn this over to to Liz to Stein here. We asked questions about Galain Maxwell in the transfer and again she
3 minutes, 7 seconds
referred those questions to Todd Blanch in the Bureau of Prison. So, let's be clear. We have many questions for Mr.
3 minutes, 13 seconds
Blanch and for the Bureau of Prisons that yet Republicans are refusing to ask. Why was she transferred to a less secure facility?
3 minutes, 23 seconds
And Miss Bondi claims to have no knowledge of the of the actual transfer, no knowledge that it was a less secure prison and didn't know about it until she found out found out after the fact.
3 minutes, 34 seconds
And then we'll refuse to answer additional questions. So, let me introduce Miss Stein, of course, who a brave survivor with some remarks.
3 minutes, 42 seconds
Thank you.
3 minutes, 46 seconds
My name is Liz Stein. In 1994, I was 21 years old and a college as senior in college when I met Gileain Maxwell and
3 minutes, 55 seconds
Jeffrey Epstein. For years, the Epstein case has been treated like entertainment in this country. A spectacle, a
4 minutes, 4 seconds
conspiracy theory, an endless cycle of headlines and social media focused on sensationalism and powerful people.
4 minutes, 13 seconds
Republicans versus Democrats, conspiracy versus cover up, left versus right. That
4 minutes, 20 seconds
framing is wrong. What has gotten lost in all of this is the reality of what this is, the crime of sex trafficking.
4 minutes, 29 seconds
More than a thousand vulnerable girls and young women were identified, groomed, trafficked, and abused in a
4 minutes, 37 seconds
system Jeffrey Epstein built around power, coercion, exploitation, and access to wealth and influence.
4 minutes, 47 seconds
And I think many Americans still do not fully understand what that means because if they did, they would never accept the way that this case is being handled.
4 minutes, 58 seconds
The partial release of the Epstein files, riddled with redactions that expose identifying information about
5 minutes, 5 seconds
survivors while protecting perpetrators, is not just bureaucratic incompetence.
5 minutes, 12 seconds
It reflects something much deeper about whose dignity our Department of Justice
5 minutes, 19 seconds
is prioritizing and whose suffering it is willing to sacrifice. And survivors see that clearly.
5 minutes, 27 seconds
For survivors, privacy is safety.
5 minutes, 30 seconds
Privacy is dignity. Privacy is the ability to rebuild a life without being retraumatized by the very institutions
5 minutes, 38 seconds
that are supposed to protect us. And while survivors identifying information was exposed, the Department of Justice
5 minutes, 46 seconds
is simultaneously telling the American people that there are no in additional investigative leads worth pursuing. We
5 minutes, 54 seconds
can see with our own eyes when we look at the Epson files that this is not true. These files contain leads, names,
6 minutes, 3 seconds
connections, friendships, patterns, witnesses, travel records, financial relationships, and institutional failures.
6 minutes, 13 seconds
In any other sex trafficking case of this magnitude, those leads would be aggressively pursued. But in this case,
6 minutes, 22 seconds
they have not been. And as citizens of this country, we should all be asking why. That is why people are losing trust
6 minutes, 30 seconds
in our Department of Justice. Not because this case is politically inconvenient, but because Americans
6 minutes, 37 seconds
understand instinctively that justice should not operate differently for wealthy people who have power. And that
6 minutes, 45 seconds
is also why many of us have serious concerns about today's proceedings. This should not be a transcribed interview.
6 minutes, 54 seconds
Former attorney Pam Bondi should testify under oath on video with a full transcript and recording released
7 minutes, 2 seconds
publicly because the American people deserve transparency and accountability cannot only exist when it's politically
7 minutes, 10 seconds
convenient. For survivors, this has never been about politics.
7 minutes, 16 seconds
It's about whether we as victims of this crime matter when the cameras are off.
7 minutes, 21 seconds
It's about whether the department United States Department of Justice is willing to fully confront a massive sex trafficking operation when wealthy and powerful people are implicated.
7 minutes, 33 seconds
That should concern every American because if the law only applies selectively, it is liberty for some but not justice at all. Thank you.
7 minutes, 46 seconds
Now, we're gonna hear from Melanie Sanford.
7 minutes, 50 seconds
Good afternoon. I'm Melanie Stansbury and I represent New Mexico's first congressional district. And I want to be clear today that one thing is clear that
8 minutes
this is absolutely a cover up and a smoke screen to prevent Pam Bondi from
8 minutes, 7 seconds
having to testify under oath pursuant to a congressional subpoena. Now, let me explain a few things about what we have seen in the room.
8 minutes, 17 seconds
First and foremost, if Pam Bondi was complying with a congressional deposition to testify
8 minutes, 26 seconds
under oath, Department of Justice attorneys would not be intervening and essentially trying to stop her from
8 minutes, 34 seconds
answering basic questions about her conversations with Donald Trump, with the administration, and trying to claim
8 minutes, 42 seconds
that she does not have to answer questions. In fact, as the ranking member said, she has been asked multiple
8 minutes, 49 seconds
times about the Trump administration, about her conversations with the president, about her conversations with
8 minutes, 56 seconds
other administration officials. And when asked specifically about a conversation with Donald Trump, one of the Department
9 minutes, 4 seconds
of Justice attorneys intervened and said that she did not have to answer the question because it was a voluntary
9 minutes, 12 seconds
interview and said in fact quote we don't even have to assert privilege because of that and said quote we refuse
9 minutes, 21 seconds
to provide answers. That means that the United States Department of Justice is intervening on behalf of Pam Bondi to
9 minutes, 30 seconds
stop her from answering questions about what happened in the cover up of this case and her conversations with Donald
9 minutes, 37 seconds
Trump and is asserting that she does not have to answer questions because she is not required to because she is not being deposed under oath. This is a cover up.
9 minutes, 49 seconds
This will be remembered as the largest cover up likely in American history. And it is clear that this interview is a
9 minutes, 57 seconds
smoke screen to try to show the American people that they are complying while they are not. Now, I also want to point
10 minutes, 4 seconds
out that there is not a single Republican in the room besides the chairman.
10 minutes, 10 seconds
for a supposed group of individuals who care deeply about justice for the survivors. Not a single Republican could
10 minutes, 20 seconds
be bothered to travel across the country today to come hear testimony from the former attorney general. Not one.
10 minutes, 28 seconds
They're not here. And they won't allow this interview to be put on video for the American people to see. And that
10 minutes, 37 seconds
means that only those of us who are allowed in the room can tell you what is actually happening. And what I can tell you is that when we started to ask
10 minutes, 45 seconds
difficult question, Miss Bondi got combative.
10 minutes, 50 seconds
The DOJ attorneys began rolling their eyes. They started intervene and intervening and they tried to shut down
10 minutes, 58 seconds
any questions about the president and this administration's handling of the files. Now, I just want to end by saying
11 minutes, 5 seconds
this could all end now. The administration could end this by releasing the three million files they still have. In fact, Pam Bondi confirmed
11 minutes, 14 seconds
that they had 6 million files in their possession and have only released 3 million. She said that today. They could
11 minutes, 22 seconds
end this now by investigating crimes of known perpetrators that we have seen in the files. They could end this now by
11 minutes, 30 seconds
turning the Epstein files into Epstein trials. and they could end this now by actually speaking with survivors. And Pam Bondi herself said today that she had never spoken to a single survivor.
11 minutes, 43 seconds
She said that multiple times in the room today. So, it's time to end the cover up. Now, I turn it now to Mr. Maxwell Frost of Florida's 10th.
11 minutes, 54 seconds
Thank you. I'll be really quick. Every single one of our questions got one of three responses. One, not to my recollection or I don't know. Number
12 minutes, 2 seconds
two, talk with Todd Blanch. I don't know anything about it. And number three, I am not talking about Donald Trump. Those are the three answers we're getting to
12 minutes, 10 seconds
every single question that we ask. This actually really reminds me of our deposition with Alex Aosta where he obviously didn't know anything about
12 minutes, 18 seconds
anything going on in his own damn office. It's the same thing with Pam Bondi. Either she doesn't know or Todd Blanch was running the entire operation.
12 minutes, 26 seconds
So, okay, we're going to want to talk with Todd Blanch. And we're hoping that not just Chairman Comr, but every single Republican on this committee join us in
12 minutes, 34 seconds
issuing a subpoena to him because we need to speak with him because obviously the former attorney general is in that room placing every single thing on the
12 minutes, 41 seconds
current acting attorney general of the United States. And the fact that you won't answer any questions relating to Donald Trump is disgusting and shows just how much of a cover up this is.
12 minutes, 51 seconds
First, it started off with her saying, "I'm not going to talk about any private conversations I've had with the president." Okay. Then we ask questions
12 minutes, 59 seconds
about the president generally and she says I'm not answering any questions having to do with the president at all.
13 minutes, 5 seconds
Anytime we ask for any information relating to this administration, somebody from the Department of Justice sitting right next to her puts their
13 minutes, 12 seconds
hand over the mic and tells her, "Do not answer that question.
13 minutes, 17 seconds
It's disgusting. It's a cover up in broad daylight." And what they're hoping will happen is we'll walk out of here and we'll stop. But we're not going to
13 minutes, 24 seconds
stop. We are committed to this. We're not going to let this story die. We're not going to allow the survivors to just go go off, right? And people forget
13 minutes, 33 seconds
about this. We're going to keep fighting for justice. We're going to talk with Todd Blanch. We're going to talk with people and we're going to get the answers here. We're not going to let
13 minutes, 40 seconds
this story die. It's a disgrace what Pam Bondi is doing in that room. It's the same thing she did months ago when she came to try to evade the subpoena by
13 minutes, 48 seconds
coming in speaking to us, not under oath. Uh but we're going to keep this fight up.
13 minutes, 54 seconds
I got it. Uh, thank you all so much for being here. I'm Summer Lee representing Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district. And listen, my colleagues have
14 minutes, 2 seconds
really laid it out, but what we've been seeing has been a consistent theme, not just since last August when um, our
14 minutes, 10 seconds
ranking member Garcia and I were able to help to secure the initial subpoena to actually bring in the DOJ to release all
14 minutes, 17 seconds
of the vows to our committee. But it has been an ongoing theme here. What we just witnessed from Pam Bondi, what she
14 minutes, 24 seconds
demonstrated was uh the fact that they believe and that they are an unaccountable DOJ that's running cover
14 minutes, 33 seconds
for and protecting an unaccountable president and administration. But the real problem is that while we might
14 minutes, 40 seconds
expect Donald Trump to move in this way, someone who has himself been named in these fouls, we shouldn't expect that
14 minutes, 47 seconds
Chairman Comr, that our Congress, that Republicans here, sorry to make it political, but those folks who do have the power to actually use what
14 minutes, 56 seconds
influence, what tools we have with the United States Congress to actually bring about some justice right now and to allow her to continually to continually
15 minutes, 5 seconds
evade justice, to evade questions as we've seen today is a continuation of the indignity that they've inflicted
15 minutes, 12 seconds
upon our survivors, the indignity they they've inflicted upon the American population who have continuously had to watch an unaccountable justice system, a
15 minutes, 21 seconds
two-tier justice system and our country and people all over the world who are looking to see if the United States will get their together. And the reality is is that they are refusing to do that.
15 minutes, 32 seconds
every step of this last year that we've gone through this process which is as we know simply a renewed process here
15 minutes, 40 seconds
because survivors have been fighting for just justice for decades now but since the Congress has taken up this particular fight in the ways that we've
15 minutes, 48 seconds
been able to by being able to press for subpoenas we've seen over and over and over an unwillingness of power to be accountable to people and unwillingness
15 minutes, 57 seconds
of our Congress to be a co-equal branch of government with the presidency with the with the executive branch and surely an unwillingness for us to actually
16 minutes, 5 seconds
demonstrate that we are willing to put women, children, and survivors first. So right now, what we want to do and what we're committed to doing is continuing to keep the main story the main story.
16 minutes, 16 seconds
That justice doesn't have a time limit.
16 minutes, 17 seconds
And no matter how much Comr or Bonsie or Blanch or Trump or whoever else fights back against the truth coming out, that
16 minutes, 26 seconds
this fight will continue. that we will not relent until every single person who has been impacted not just by Jeffrey
16 minutes, 34 seconds
Epstein or Gain Maxwell, but everyone who's being covered up or hidden and the fouls are in people's personal knowledge
16 minutes, 41 seconds
that they won't share truthfully with us in whether they're unofficial transcripts or real depositions on the record that it's important that they
16 minutes, 49 seconds
recognize that not only will the oversight dimmed, but also the American people will not back down. The survivors have not and will not back down. And it's important that we continue to keep
16 minutes, 57 seconds
this pressure on them and and remind them that legally binding subpoenas must be answered. So right now Pam Bondi is
17 minutes, 5 seconds
in non-compliance with two for herself and we have to keep putting that pressure on them. Um and we'll continue to do that. I will hand it over now to Rep. Superman.
17 minutes, 15 seconds
Thank you. I just want to talk about the survivors for a second. Thank you so much for your words. Uh they're here today. They were with us in Palm Beach a few weeks ago when we had a hearing
17 minutes, 23 seconds
there and they've asked the Department of Justice repeatedly to meet with them.
17 minutes, 27 seconds
They've asked repeatedly to release certain files to them at least, such as their witness statements. And so we asked Pam Bondi about that today. She
17 minutes, 35 seconds
said it wouldn't be appropriate to meet with them for some reason. Uh she said she doesn't recall anything about them asking for their witness statements. Uh
17 minutes, 43 seconds
she's forgotten all about all of their requests, even their public letters. It seemed as though she was ignoring survivors this whole time, which is
17 minutes, 51 seconds
pretty astounding to me. Uh, so I also asked her pretty basic questions about whether she knew about any effort to
17 minutes, 58 seconds
look for Donald Trump's name in the files before they were released. And she says she doesn't recall. And so I think it was wasn't that long ago before they
18 minutes, 6 seconds
were released in the files. Uh, yet somehow she doesn't recall things that happened about six months ago. And then finally, going back to Galileain
18 minutes, 13 seconds
Maxwell, uh she said she wasn't involved at all in the process of moving her moving her to another prison, but she wasn't sure if that p new prison was
18 minutes, 22 seconds
even a lower security prison, which factually it is. She also thinks that the Bureau of Prisons is doing a great job. And she said that these things
18 minutes, 29 seconds
happen all the time because you want to protect uh some of these folks in prison. Well, that's true, but we really need to protect Gaina Maxwell right
18 minutes, 37 seconds
after she just talked to Todd Blanch about the Epstein files. seemed too coincidental, but again, she doesn't recall a lot of other things. It was a
18 minutes, 44 seconds
really uh unimpressive and disappointing uh interview today, but not surprising to us. We're not going to stop our investigation.
18 minutes, 53 seconds
I'm going to hand it over to Esme, sorry.
18 minutes, 57 seconds
Thank you. Today's ridiculous charade has made astonishingly clear that the United States Department of Justice has
19 minutes, 4 seconds
been weaponized by Donald Trump to ensure that the most massive cover up in American history is carried out. And
19 minutes, 12 seconds
this is being enabled by Republicans in Congress led by Republican Chairman James Comr and Speaker of the House Mike
19 minutes, 20 seconds
Johnson. This entire Epstein investigation led by Chairman Comr has been absurd. We are we have two legal
19 minutes, 29 seconds
subpoenas against attorney former attorney general Pam Bondi. She is supposed to be here under oath today on
19 minutes, 36 seconds
video answering questions for the American people about her role and the direct hand that she had in this
19 minutes, 44 seconds
coverup. Instead, she is deflecting. She is refusing to answer questions and she continues to refuse to answer specific
19 minutes, 52 seconds
questions about the president of the United States. It is so clear that whether it be Pam Bondi, whether it be
19 minutes, 59 seconds
Chairman Comr, whether it be Mike Johnson, the entire party is terrified of Donald Trump and his retaliation as
20 minutes, 8 seconds
it pertains to the cover up of the Epstein files. It's unacceptable. It is notable that she continues to blame Todd
20 minutes, 15 seconds
Blanch and Cash Patel. We of course want to speak to them. But I think what I want to make clear to the American public and to everybody and to the
20 minutes, 23 seconds
survivors especially is that we are not going to give up on this. I think Republicans believe that they just kind of carry out these nonsense transcribed
20 minutes, 32 seconds
interviews and don't show up here today that we will forget about this. We are just getting started as it pertains to
20 minutes, 41 seconds
accountability and justice for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Galain Maxwell, and any other rich and powerful
20 minutes, 48 seconds
person in this country who perpetrated these crimes. I'm going to hand it over to Congressman.
20 minutes, 54 seconds
Thank you very much, uh, Congressman Dave Men at a California 47. And yes, uh, I have an election in 40. It's a very important one. Robert Garcia and I have our primary elections on Tuesday of
21 minutes, 3 seconds
next week. Uh, but I'm here rather than in my district because this is important. We looked the survivors in the eye last year and made a promise to
21 minutes, 12 seconds
them that we would try to find justice, find transparency. Uh, Republicans also looked these women in the eye and did not follow through. It's a shame that
21 minutes, 19 seconds
James Comr is the only Republican here today because uh this is the biggest cover up in history. This should not be a partisan issue. Now, as a former law
21 minutes, 27 seconds
professor, as a lawyer, I just want to note a couple things that uh struck out to me. Uh, one, uh, the fact that she is
21 minutes, 34 seconds
appearing as a voluntary witness today, voluntary interview is important because she's claiming that she's not uh, complying with the subpoena. She's claiming the subpoena doesn't apply to
21 minutes, 42 seconds
her because she's no longer with the Department of Justice. But at the same time, as has been noted, you have two DOJ attorneys in there. If it's a
21 minutes, 49 seconds
personal interview voluntarily done, why is the DOJ so heavily involved? It doesn't make any sense unless you think about it as a cover up. The second point
21 minutes, 57 seconds
I want to make, we got a pretty important insight today into the flimsy basis on which they're not turning over three million documents right now. They
22 minutes, 5 seconds
claimed earlier that Tam Bondi claimed that uh documents that were related to any decisions to prosecute or not
22 minutes, 13 seconds
prosecute were being withheld. That is all the witness interviews is all the evidence gathered by the FBI. There's a reason we don't have the smoking guns.
22 minutes, 20 seconds
We don't have the video evidence. We don't have the witness interviews because they're claiming that's all privileged and that is a bunch of pardon my language. Any lawyer
22 minutes, 27 seconds
will tell you that our subpoena, whether it's the oversight subpenal or the Epstein files transparency act specifically applies to these types of
22 minutes, 34 seconds
documents. We don't have the real information here because they're claiming it's all privileged and that is something that we need to get to the bottom of. Uh this I think actually
22 minutes, 42 seconds
exposed a lot of what they're doing right now. We need those documents. This should give us the basis to overturn them. And I'll just echo what everyone else is saying in there. It's a sham in
22 minutes, 50 seconds
there. They are not answering any questions. And with that, I want to turn it over to my friend James Lockenshaw from Virginia. There's a terrible and
22 minutes, 58 seconds
tragic irony at play this week because behind these closed doors, the Department of Justice is continuing to
23 minutes, 6 seconds
cover up and stonewall the courageous Epstein survivors like Liz here. At the same time, the same Department of
23 minutes, 15 seconds
Justice led by Harid Dylan and others, Todd Blanch, has launched an investigation into Eugene Carol and
23 minutes, 23 seconds
those who supported her successful legal effort that found Donald Trump liable of sexual assault. So, the message to
23 minutes, 32 seconds
survivors of sexual assault from this administration and this Department of Justice, sadly, is quite clear this
23 minutes, 40 seconds
week. I want to share one piece of information, one question that the former attorney general did answer. She
23 minutes, 48 seconds
was asked specifically about Donald Trump, President Trump's awareness of Epstein's crimes before
23 minutes, 57 seconds
they became public knowledge. She had the opportunity to say, "Donald Trump certainly wasn't aware of those crimes."
24 minutes, 5 seconds
She had the opportunity to say, "I know Donald Trump, and if he was aware of those crimes, he would have done something." Instead, she said, "I don't
24 minutes, 13 seconds
know." She also said, quote, this is a direct quote, "I'm not certain of the extent of
24 minutes, 20 seconds
his knowledge." I think that's a perfect example as to why we need
24 minutes, 28 seconds
Pam Bondi under oath in a real deposition for the camera so the American people can see and hear her answers to our questions for themselves.
24 minutes, 38 seconds
I'll turn it over to the ranking member.
24 minutes, 40 seconds
A couple questions and we got to go. We got to it's continuing so we got to keep going. So a couple questions.
24 minutes, 43 seconds
Thank you, Mr. Ranking member. So is your next step to try to subpoena Todd Blanch to compel his testimony? And if so, do you have the votes and when would
24 minutes, 51 seconds
you do it? Well, the the request uh is going in today to Chairman Comr to have Todd Blanch come in. It's clear that after this testimony, that is where a
24 minutes, 59 seconds
lot of the information is and so we're going to if if he doesn't do it, we're going to force a subpoena and try to get votes, but he's got to come in.
25 minutes, 4 seconds
Cash Patel's name was also mentioned where there'll be a subpoena for him as well. Cash Patel is number two on the list.
25 minutes, 9 seconds
So, Cash Patel was al multiple times we had questions about the FBI, the way the files were redacted, why redactions were done so so messy, and why there was
25 minutes, 18 seconds
doxing that happened in certain cases survivors. finger was pointed back at Cash Patel and so we have questions for Cash Patel as well. Yes.
25 minutes, 24 seconds
Can you characterize a little bit more the justice department on that? How many times do they intervene?
25 minutes, 32 seconds
Well, first let's be really clear. It's it's it's bizarre that the DOJ is also
25 minutes, 40 seconds
acting now as personal counsel to Miss Bondi. And so the fact that the DOJ is essentially stopping Miss Bondi from
25 minutes, 48 seconds
answering questions and interjecting particularly around President Trump is incredibly concerning. And the fact that it's being allowed by Chairman Comr is
25 minutes, 57 seconds
also as concerning. She stopped Miss Bondi multiple times from answering questions and interjected multiple times especially as as it related to President Trump. One last question.
26 minutes, 6 seconds
What is Oversight Dan's next step to compel more of? Look, I think there are still half 50% of the documents have not
26 minutes, 15 seconds
