00:00So, I have several questions for you.
00:03Whose response, are you able to track who in your organization made this massive failure and released the victim's names?
00:10Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner's name as a co-conspirator in an FBI
00:18document?
00:20Do you have that kind of accountability?
00:23I believe Wexner's name was listed more than 4,000 times.
00:28Yeah, I already told you that. This is where he's listed as a co-conspirator.
00:32Can I finish my answer? Come on. Let me finish my answer.
00:36Behind me, I have three documents from the DOJ production that are emblematic of the massive failure of the DOJ
00:43to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
00:46To my right is an email that was sent by the victim's lawyers to the DOJ.
00:51It was a list of names not to redact.
00:55Sorry, a list of names not to release.
00:57What did the DOJ do with this email?
00:59They released this email in the document production.
01:04Literally, the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did.
01:09And they're getting phone calls.
01:10A lot of these people didn't want to be known.
01:13And we know you touched the document because you redacted one name.
01:17And you redacted the lawyer's name, but you left the survivor's name there.
01:20The next document I want to show you, and that was in the title, the victim's survivors' names, right?
01:28The title of this one is Child Sex Trafficking.
01:32Co-conspirators.
01:33Fully redacted.
01:36And by the way, I'm going to unredact them here.
01:41Les Wexner is in this.
01:44Now, your assistant, your deputy attorney general said, oh, well, he appears hundreds of times in the files.
01:51But he doesn't appear in this file until I forced you to release it, where he's listed as a co
01:58-conspirator, not to tax evasion, but to child sex trafficking, not to prostitution, not to money laundering, child sex trafficking.
02:10And then finally, what we have here, the third exhibit that I have is emblematic of the FD-302 release.
02:19These are the documents that we need that you're holding on to and over-redacting because they have the names
02:27of the men who are implicated.
02:29How do we know?
02:31Because the survivors gave testimony to the FBI, and it's in there.
02:37And what happens when you go to the portal at the DOJ to look at what's behind this redaction?
02:43Another redaction.
02:44So we can't even see them.
02:46And then there's some of these files you've pulled down from the website that we will never see because we
02:54can't search the redactions.
02:56So I have several questions for you.
02:59Who's responsible?
03:00Are you able to track who in your organization made this massive failure and released the victims' names?
03:06Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner's name as a co-conspirator in an FBI
03:15document?
03:16Do you have that kind of accountability?
03:19I believe Wexner's name was listed more than 4,000 times.
03:25Yeah, I already told you that.
03:27This is where he's listed as a co-conspirator.
03:29Can I finish my answer?
03:30Come on.
03:31Let me finish my answer.
03:33We corrected that within 40 minutes.
03:36He was already...
03:37You're acting like everybody's trying to cover up Wexner's name.
03:40Reclaiming my time.
03:41I'm going to answer this question.
03:42Reclaiming my time.
03:43It's Mr. Chairman.
03:44This isn't how this works.
03:45Can I have my time?
03:46He was...
03:46Mr. Chairman.
03:48The gentlelady can give her answer.
03:50The time belongs to the gentleman from...
03:51All right.
03:52I'm reclaiming my time.
03:53Can I give my answer?
03:53So, I'm going to put the language of the bill up on the screen.
03:58Chairman, may I give my answer on that?
04:00It's a political joke, and I need to give my answer on that.
04:04We'll let the attorney general respond, and then the gentleman can move to his next question.
04:07Within 40 minutes, you asked me a question.
04:10Within 40 minutes, Wexner's name was added back...
04:14Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.
04:17Red-handed.
04:18There was one redaction out of over 4,700, and we invited you in.
04:25This guy has Trump derangement syndrome.
04:28He needs to get...
04:28You're a failed politician.
04:30You need to...
04:31I want you to watch the video.
04:32Chairman, please restore his time and remind the witness of the rules here.
04:35There is no credible information.
04:37None.
04:38If there were, I would bring the case yesterday that he trafficked to other individuals.
04:44Is that your position as well?
04:48My position is any victim who comes forward, of course, we would love to hear from them.
04:551-800-CALL-FBI.
04:58Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years?
05:02Did you talk about Epstein at all the last four years?
05:03I am reclaiming my time.
05:05I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland.
05:07You don't get a reclaim time when you don't quit when you can't eat when I don't answer
05:10a question the way you want.
05:11This goes over four administrations.
05:13You don't have to go back to Biden.
05:15Let's go back to Obama.
05:16Let's go back to George Bush.
05:18This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it.
05:23Now, I want to know, at what point did the FBI and the DOJ decide that Lex Wessner was not
05:32a co-conspirator?
05:33Because our Epstein Files Transparency Act requires you, please put it back on the screen, to release
05:41the internal decision about whether to prosecute him or not, and it's not in the files, and
05:46it's not in the files for any of these other men.
05:49The time of the gentleman has expired.
05:51Which, may she answer?
05:52And he's a hypocrite because he voted against the ban that we were talking about on deep
05:58fake AI porn.
06:00Only two people voted against it, and you were one of them, hypocrite.
06:04The gentleman's time has expired.
06:08We are joined in this room by some of the thousands of survivors from Jeffrey Epstein's
06:14horrific sex trafficking ring.
06:16They have shown such incredible courage in speaking out, in demanding accountability to
06:23bring the predators and pedophiles to justice.
06:27The Epstein Files Transparency Act required your Department of Justice to disclose the perpetrators
06:33connected with Epstein's criminal activities and to redact the information of survivors to
06:39protect their identities.
06:41Let me show you what actually happened.
06:44First, in violation of the law, your department has shown a pattern of redacting the names of
06:51powerful predators.
06:53Here, behind me, is one example of an email from Epstein to a man whose name was redacted.
07:00The email reads, quote, where are you?
07:04Are you okay?
07:06I loved the torture video.
07:09Only after members of Congress demanded that we see the unredacted files did the world learn
07:16the name of this individual, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayam, the chairman and CEO of a company that
07:24had financial ties to President Trump's business and personal ties to Trump's advisor, Steve
07:30Bannon.
07:31Second, the survivors were not similarly protected, also in violation of the law.
07:38Here is another email titled Epstein Victim List.
07:43We have blurred the names of the survivors for their protection, but your Department of
07:47Justice initially released this list of 32 survivors' names with only one name redacted, along with
07:57numerous files that disclosed not only the names, the emails, and the addresses of survivors,
08:03but also nude photographs and even the identities of Jane Doe's, who had been protected for decades
08:11until your department released their names.
08:14Survivors are now telling us that their families are finding out for the first time that they
08:20were trafficked by Epstein.
08:22In their words, quote, this release does not provide closure.
08:26It feels like a deliberate attempt to intimidate survivors, punish those who came forward, and
08:33reinforce the same culture of secrecy that allowed Epstein's crimes to continue for decades.
08:40To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand.
08:50And if you are willing, please raise your hands if you have still not been able to meet with
08:57this Department of Justice.
09:02Please know, for the record, that every single survivor has raised their hand.
09:07Attorney General Bondi, you apologize to the survivors in your opening statement for what they
09:15went through at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.
09:18Will you turn to them now and apologize for what your Department of Justice has put them through
09:26with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information?
09:42Congresswoman, you sat before Merrick Garland sat in this chair twice.
09:48Attorney General Bondi, I'm going to reclaim my time because I asked you a specific question
09:56that I would like you to answer, which is, will you turn to the survivors?
10:02This is not about anybody that came before you.
10:05It is about you taking responsibility for your Department of Justice and the harm that it
10:12has done to the survivors who are standing right behind you and are waiting for you to
10:18turn to them and apologize for what your Department of Justice has done.
10:23Members get to ask the questions.
10:24The witness gets to answer in the way they want to answer.
10:27The Attorney General can respond.
10:28That's not accurate, Mr. Chairman.
10:29Because she doesn't like the answer.
10:31It is my time.
10:31So, Mr. Chairman, I have asked a question.
10:35Why didn't she ask Merrick Garland this twice when he sat in my chair?
10:40I am reclaiming my time, and when I reclaim my time, it is my time.
10:43I'm not going to get in the gutter for her theatrics.
10:46The time belongs to the gentlelady.
10:48The gentlelady has 17 seconds.
10:54What a massive cover-up this has been and continues to be.
11:15Donald Trump made the release of the Epstein files the center of his political campaign
11:19because he thought it would benefit him.
11:21Then you got into office, Attorney General, claimed to have a client list.
11:25Regular order.
11:25Only did them say that there was no list.
11:28Your deputy, Todd Blanche, met alone with Elaine Maxwell and transferred her to a minimum security prison.
11:37And now you continue the cover-up, and I wish that you would turn around to the survivors
11:43who are standing right behind you and on a human level.
11:46The chairman now recognizes the general professional.
11:49I'm what you have done.
11:50The time of the gentlelady has expired.
11:52I yield back.
11:52The gentlelady has expired.
11:53You have no time to yield back.
11:54We appreciate that.
11:55We appreciate the thought.
11:56I want to discuss another man, Donald Trump, who is all over the Epstein files.
12:01Like former president.
12:03Here's a video.
12:17Like former Prince Andrew, Donald Trump attended various parties with Jeffrey Epstein.
12:24I want to know, were there any underage girls at that party or at any party that Trump attended with
12:32Jeffrey Epstein?
12:39This is so ridiculous, and that they are trying to deflect from all the great things Donald Trump has done.
12:48There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime.
12:51Everyone knows that.
12:53This has been the most transparent presidency.
12:55He's the one that asked that those files be released.
12:58I reclaimed my time.
12:59I got your answer.
13:00You said there's no evidence.
13:01Mr. Trump asked the clock to sign the legislation.
13:05This is ridiculous.
13:07Time belongs to the gentleman from California.
13:09Okay.
13:10I'm going to put up another document from a witness who called the FBI's National Threat Operations Center,
13:17because I believe you just lied under oath.
13:20There is ample evidence in the Epstein file.
13:23Don't you ever accuse me of a crime.
13:25I believe you just lied under oath, and this is all on videotape.
13:28You said there's no evidence of a crime.
13:30I'm showing you.
13:31Here is a witness statement who called into the FBI's Threat Operations Center.
13:37He drove Donald Trump around in a limo.
13:39He overheard what Donald Trump said to Jeffrey on his cell phone.
13:42He was so angry he was going to stop the limo and hurt Donald Trump.
13:46And he met a girl who said she was raped by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
13:51She later had her head blown off, and the officers at the scene said that could not have been suicide.
13:57No one, no one at the Department of Justice interviewed this witness.
14:04You need to interview this witness immediately.
14:09Epstein should rot in hell.
14:10So should the men who patronized his operation.
14:14And as we say here today, there are over 1,000 sex trafficking victims, and you have not held a
14:20single man accountable.
14:22Shame on you.
14:23If you had any decency, you would resign right after this hearing concludes.
14:27The gentleman has expired.
14:30May I respond?
14:31Yeah, I don't know how you respond.
14:32No one can respond.
14:33I did not ask a question.
14:34He doesn't want to talk about the human rights of a crime in California.
14:37He does not want to talk about the crime in his state.
14:41I did not ask a question.
14:43I did not ask a question.
