00:00crime in D.C. that is being cracked down with this. Okay, I'm happy to talk about violent
00:05crime in D.C. and I'm going to. I have some posters to show you, but anything on Charizier?
00:10Are there any plans, Judge Jeanine, to send American forces to Haiti to retrieve this
00:16man? Yeah. So the U.S. government, in a collaborative fashion, is supporting both the
00:27Haitian National Police and the Multinational Security Support Mission to help stabilize
00:32Haiti and create the conditions conducive for the holding democratic elections in the
00:38country. That is what we are doing. We are doing this mainly through foreign assistance
00:42and through technical assistance from our law enforcement partners. That is the strategy
00:46of the U.S. government right now. So the point of the rewards offer is to
00:56get information about these individuals. And then we are working very closely with Haitian
01:03National Police. So that is one of the mechanisms. If we can get information, the individuals can
01:09get up to $5 million. Our U.S. law enforcement colleagues will work with Haitian National Police
01:14and we will arrest this individual and incarcerate him.
01:15I have a question about the co-defendant. You said he was picked up in Texas, right? I noticed in
01:20the indictment he's a nationalized citizen and there's been an effort by this administration
01:24to, in some cases, denaturalize people who are convicted of crimes. Is that something on
01:29the table that you'll be looking to do once he goes through the judicial process?
01:33Well, I think it's a little too early now to really comment on that. I think right now our
01:39goal is to get a conviction here and then we'll make a decision as to what's appropriate.
01:43There's a lot of steps before you even get to that. Anything else on Charizier?
01:48Do you plan to indict other Haitian gang leaders? Is this just the beginning? And do you have
01:53any sense of where he might be?
01:55If we knew where he was, I wouldn't tell you. I'd go over there myself. No. Right. That
02:02was a joke. We certainly have some information, but, you know, we need whatever information we
02:10can get from the public. We don't have him in our custody. That's all I can say right now.
02:18Do you want to add anything to that, guys? Okay. All right. Greg, anything? All right. Thank you.
