00:00 The gentleman from Wyoming is recognized.

00:01 Well, thank you.

00:02 And if it seems like there might be a dog in this hunt on the other side, what you need

00:06 to understand is that Mr. Goldman, the novice representative from New York, actually does

00:11 have a personal stake in this case.

00:14 He has stated that he has been involved with the Bragg case, helping to prepare Mr. Cohen

00:19 for his testimony.

00:21 So he is quite closely aligned with an admitted and convicted liar and perjurer.

00:28 He's also paid the judge merchant's daughter's firm over $150,000 for her services.

00:35 So I think we've got quite a conflict of interest from Mr. Dan Goldman, the novice representative

00:41 from New York.

00:42 And just one other thing to keep in mind when considering the hostility from the folks on

00:46 the other side of this aisle is that the ranking member of this particular committee was Jeffrey

00:52 Epstein's fixer.

00:53 Excuse me, Mr. Chair, I would move to have that stricken from the record, to have that

00:54 phrase taken down.

00:55 The ranking member was Jeffrey Epstein's fixer.

00:58 So I think that that might give you some idea of why you see this hostility.

01:01 Excuse me, I would ask that the ranking member be taken down.

01:04 The ranking member is recognized.

01:05 I would ask that the statements regarding the conflict of interest related to Mr. Goldman

01:11 be stricken down from the record.

01:14 Engaging in personal personalities.

01:18 In your 14 minute and 14 second opening statement, you called the former president, current candidate

01:23 for the office of president of the United States, all kinds of names.

01:26 I think he's not a member of this committee.

01:27 I understand he's not a member.

01:28 And that's what I'm asking.

01:29 He's still a former president.

01:31 What I'm saying is we should all be careful about it.

01:33 I think the gentlelady from Wyoming was just stating facts that are in the news report.

01:38 She accused him of a conflict of interest on the committee during the hearing.

01:43 I ask that that be stricken down.

01:45 The gentlelady's point of order is overruled.

01:50 The gentlelady from Wyoming is recognized.

01:52 Thank you.

01:53 Senator Hamilton, would you agree that gag orders on trial participants were created

01:57 with the intent of securing a defendant's right to a fair trial?
