00:00I do want to ask about something that is not just bubbling it but kind of exploding within the MAGA movement and that is the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically the way the Trump administration has handled it. He, the president's defending the attorney general, Pam Bondi, after the DOJ released a memo saying that contrary to what we've heard from them before, that there is no so-called Epstein client list. You are on the committee that oversees the Department of Justice. Are you going to push
00:29them to overturn any and all Epstein files? Well, I think we have in the past but it wouldn't be the first time there's a say one thing, do another coming out of Donald Trump, say one thing on the campaign trail and then once in office have a change of tune. Fortunately, it's another sign of the chaos and disorder within the Trump administration. So you have in the past, are you, I mean, are you interested in seeing these files? Is it something that's a priority for Democrats? I mean, I think it's the first question is whether the, the, the
00:59unless they claim to exist exists, you know, they can't have it both ways. Okay. Senator, thank you so much for being here. Appreciate it.
