At a press briefing on Tuesday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was asked why he didn't push for the release of the Epstein files while the Democrats were in control of the government.
00:03On the vaccine files, why didn't you propose that while Biden was president, you had a Democrat running for the U.S.A.?
00:09Look, the bottom line is they should release the files now.
00:13Yes, yes.
00:15Does the change to the bill with PEPFAR make any difference to the Democrats?
00:19Look, the Republican bill keeps changing.
00:22We still know it does lots of horrible things.
00:24The rural areas that don't have their radio stations that in many cases is the only way or the best way they can get weather warnings is terrible.
00:35They've changed and added a small amount on the foreign aid proposal, but it still leaves an enormous vacuum that China and Russia will fill.
00:46We're going to try to improve the bill in any way we can.
