00:00Why do you think that a special counsel is necessary now after the John Durant's argument?

00:04So I supported a special counsel appointment when Attorney General Sessions recused himself.

00:14The accusations were serious and the Mueller investigation turned out to be a sad chapter.

00:22But having said all that, the DNI is releasing documents that are unnerving.

00:27And they've sent it over to the Department of Justice.

00:31So let's use the process of getting it out of the politics of the moment.

00:36And if there's any there, have a special counsel look at it.

00:39I'm not going to make a judgment about who did what.

00:42But I think the country would be well served by a process that allows somebody outside of DOJ to look at it.

00:49That's what we did in the past.

00:50As to the Epstein files, release as much as you can.

00:55Protect victims, but get it all out there and let people make their own decisions.

01:01As to any idea or suggestion that President Trump did something nefarious with Epstein,

01:08you'd have to believe that the Biden people sat on that for four years and did nothing about it.

01:13So that's not very credible to me.

01:14But having said that, just release it in a way that's respectful to the victims.

01:20Do you not think the Durham investigation would have uncovered anything with Russia?
