00:00I have your statement about the new Epstein emails that have been released by House Democrats.

00:06Separate from why you believe the emails were made public, can you address their substance?

00:12Did the president ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein's house with a victim?

00:17These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong.

00:23And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein.

00:28Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar-a-Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.

00:37And this email you refer to with the name of a victim that was unredacted now and has since been reported on in this room,

00:44so I will go ahead and say it, Virginia Guffrey.

00:47And it was CBS's own reporting Ouija that recently wrote that Ms. Guffrey maintained, and God rest her soul,

00:54that she maintained that there was nothing inappropriate she ever witnessed,

00:57that President Trump was always extremely professional and friendly to her.

01:01And so I think it's a question worth asking the Democrat Party, and you should all go ask them after this briefing,

01:07of why they chose to redact that name of a victim who has already publicly made statements

01:11about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and is unfortunately no longer with us.

01:16Two questions on this. In the interest of transparency, why not just go ahead, release the full files on Epstein, get this all over with?

01:24We have, this administration has done more with respect to transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein than any administration ever.

01:32In fact, this administration, the Department of Justice, has turned over tens of thousands of documents to the American people.

01:40We are cooperating and showing support for the House Oversight Committee.

01:44That's part of the reason you are seeing these documents that were released today,

01:48because of the House Oversight Committees and Republicans' efforts to get these out to the public.

01:53This administration also moved, the Department of Justice also moved to unseal grand jury testimony,

01:58which we know, unfortunately, a judge declined those requests.

02:02So this administration has done more than any.

02:04And it just shows how this is truly a manufactured hoax by the Democrat Party for now they're talking about it all of a sudden

02:12because President Trump is in the Oval Office.

02:14But when Joe Biden was sitting in there, the Democrats never brought this up.

02:18This wasn't an issue that they cared about because they actually don't care about the victims in these cases.

02:23They care about trying to score political points against President Trump,

02:26as we have, of course, seen with this government shutdown.

02:29And this entire thing, again, it's not a coincidence to the American people at home.

02:33There are no coincidences in Washington, D.C.

02:36And it is not a coincidence that the Democrats leaked these emails to the fake news this morning

02:41ahead of Republicans reopening the government.

02:45This is another distraction campaign by the Democrat and the liberal media.

02:49And it's why I'm being asked questions about Epstein instead of the government reopening

02:53because of Republicans and President Trump.

02:55But given your interest in transparency, Caroline,

02:56why are White House officials then meeting with Representative Boebert

03:00in an effort to try and get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the files?

03:05Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration

03:09are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please?

03:13Doesn't that show our level of transparency?

03:15Doesn't that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress

03:20and address their concerns?

03:21That is a defining factor of transparency, having discussions with members of Congress about various issues.

03:29And I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room, in the press briefing room.
