00:00It is an honor to introduce the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi.

00:09And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?

00:13That is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time? Do you feel like answering?

00:19I don't mind answering. I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this.

00:30He said that he would support you releasing additional, credible evidence from the Epstein investigation.

00:41Is that something that you are open to doing?

00:43Let me take that first. This today is about fentanyl.

00:48This is about a wall of people right outside this room who have died from...

00:53I appreciate your question, but this today is about fentanyl overdoses throughout our country.

00:59And people who have lost loved ones to fentanyl.

01:02That's the message that we're here to send today.

01:04Nothing about Epstein. I'm not going to talk about Epstein.

01:07Go ahead.

01:08Madam Attorney General, on this matter of fentanyl, which is a priority, clearly,

01:13for the DEA, the Department of Justice, are you confident you're going to still be here to execute this

01:18because there's so many people calling for change at the Department of Justice?

01:22I'm going to be here for as long as the President wants me here,

01:25and I believe he's made that crystal clear. It's four years.

01:28Well, three and a half now, right? We've got six months in.

01:30It's been going very fast.

01:31It's been going very fast.

01:32Yeah, it feels like six years.

01:33Yeah, exactly.

01:34But I was with Director Patel this morning, and we are working on fighting violent crime.

01:38We are working on all these issues that we deeply care about to make America safe again

01:44and get these drugs off our streets.

01:46Is there disruption at the leadership of DOJ and the FBI with your relationship with Dan Bongino

01:52that is affecting the operation?

01:54No, I'm not going to talk about personnel matters. No.

01:57I was with Director Patel all morning, and we are committed to keeping America safe,

02:02making America safe, working with our incredible partners at DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals,

02:11to do everything we can to make America safe, and that's what we're focused on.

02:16I wanted to follow up on that question.

02:17I think the American people have a lot of questions about your relationship

02:20with the Deputy FBI Director. Do you believe that he should stay in this role?

02:25I'm not going to discuss personnel matters.

02:27I think we all are committed to working together now to make America safe again,

02:31and that's what we're doing.

02:32The President said today you would release credible files related to Mr. Epstein.

02:36Are you prepared to do that, and when would you?

02:39Our memo, today our memo speaks for itself, and we'll get back to you on anything else.

02:44I haven't seen all of his statements today. Thank you.

02:47How would you respond to the MAGA base that has expressed a lot of frustration about him?

02:51We're going to fight to keep America safe again, and we're fighting together as a team.

02:56That's what's so important right now.

02:59Mr. President, your daughter-in-law said that this is a decision for his parents to be here.

03:06Do you agree with this, sir?

03:08The Attorney General has handled that very well.

03:11She is — she's really done a very good job.

03:15And I think that when you look at it, you'll understand that.

03:18I would like to see that also.

03:20But I think the Attorney General — the credibility is very important.

03:24And you want credible evidence for something like that.

03:27And I think the Attorney General has handled it very well.

03:30Our đã Sentenzel living on the Co-Round.

03:31I'm honored, and to be in a certain honesty, do you agree general about what he did you do?

03:33On what? On the —

03:34On the —

03:35On the DOJ and —

03:36On what? On what subject?

03:37Okay.

03:38Exactly.

03:39On the duration of the review of the file, which is when somebody came on until she'd

03:41you get her.

03:42A very — a very quick briefing, yeah.

03:43The team—

03:44Does she tell you — when she'd got you to take us on the称� entender.

03:46specifically, did she tell you at all that you're

03:48being a peer in those files?

03:50The President- No, no.

03:51She's given us just a very quick briefing.

03:55And in terms of the credibility of the

03:57different things that they've seen.

03:59And I would say that, you know, these files were

04:01made up by Comey.

04:03They were made up by Obama.

04:05They were made up by the Biden information.

04:07You know, and we went through years of that

04:10with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with all of

04:14the different things that we had to go

04:15through, we've gone through years of it.

04:17But she's handled it very well.

04:19And it's going to be up to her.

04:20Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.

04:23Yeah.

04:24The President- Since the announcement-

04:25The President- What's on the deal with plans?

04:27Mr. President- Mr. President.

04:30Mr. President.
