00:00There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason.
00:07When Congressman Massey and I pointed this out to the Department of Justice, they acknowledged
00:12their mistake.
00:14And now they have revealed the identity of these six powerful men.
00:19These men, Congressman Massey and I went to the Department of Justice to read the unredacted
00:24Epstein files.
00:26We spent about two hours there and we learned that 70 to 80% of the files are still redacted.
00:35In fact, there were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason.
00:44When Congressman Massey and I pointed this out to the Department of Justice, they acknowledged
00:49their mistake.
00:51And now they have revealed the identity of these six powerful men.
00:56These men are Salvatore Navora, Zorab Mikuladz, Leipig Leonor, Nikola Kaputa, Sultan Ahmed Bin
01:07Sulayam, CEO of Dubai Ports World, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner, who was labeled as
01:15a co-conspirator by the FBI.
01:18Now, my question is, why did it take Thomas Massey and me going to the Justice Department
01:24to get these six men's identities to become public?
01:28And if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are
01:34covering up for in those three million files.
01:38But the story gets worse.
01:41The reality is that Donald Trump's FBI scrubbed these files in March, long before Thomas Massey
01:49and I passed the Epstein Transparency Act.
01:52Now my bill is clear, the Epstein Transparency Act requires them to unredact those FBI files.
01:59And yet the Justice Department said to me and to Congressman Massey, we just uploaded
02:04whatever the FBI sent us.
02:06And guess what?
02:08The FBI sent scrubbed files.
02:11That means the survivor's statement to the FBI, naming rich and powerful men who went to
02:16Epstein's Island, who went to his ranch, who went to his home and raped and abused underage
02:23girls or saw underage girls being paraded, they're all hidden.
02:27They're all redacted.
02:28It's a little bit of a force.
02:30They're inviting all the members of Congress to go to see the Department of Justice, quote
02:34unquote, unredacted files.
02:36But they've got all redacted files from the FBI.
02:40And it's not the fault of the Justice Department attorneys.
02:43They were just told to upload things that Donald Trump's FBI had already scrubbed.
02:49It's a blatant violation of the Epstein Transparency Act.
02:53But it also asks a fundamental question.
02:57Who are they protecting?
02:59Why are they protecting these rich and powerful men, people I call part of the Epstein class?
03:05Why are we in a country where there is no elite accountability for people who do the most
03:11heinous things?
03:13You have in England the king now calling for an investigation and possible prosecution of
03:21his own brother.
03:22You have in Norway the princess who no longer has support to be the queen.
03:28And yet in the United States of America, we have someone in the cabinet, Howard Lutnik,
03:34who is all over these Epstein files, who allegedly had business with Epstein after he was convicted
03:40of pedophilia, and he still is in the cabinet.
03:44We need to ask ourselves, are we in America going to have elite accountability?
03:50Are we going to call on rich and powerful people who broke the law or are cavorted with
03:55a pedophile, a convicted pedophile?
03:58Are we going to call them to account?
04:00Are we going to have prosecutions for billionaires who went to this island and either raped underage
04:07girls or saw underage girls being raped and didn't say anything?
04:12Are we going to have investigations?
04:15I'll tell you what this is about.
04:17It's not just about the 1,200 survivors.
04:21It's about two tiers of justice in America.
04:26It's about people who can accumulate wealth and power and don't have to care about the
04:31rest of America.
04:34They have destroyed so much of this country.
04:38Income inequality is at a 60-year high.
04:41Workers' salaries are less than they have been for 75 years as a part of GDP.
04:49Somehow this country seems to be working for the rich and powerful, but it's not working
04:54for ordinary working class Americans.
04:57I say enough.
04:58It's time to begin with accountability for the Epstein class.
05:04Hold them in front of Congress, those people who visited the island or did business with
05:08Epstein after he was a convicted pedophile.
05:11Investigate them.
05:12Prosecute them.
05:14And let's return to democratic accountability in the United States of America.
05:19Let's return to one system of justice in the United States of America.
05:24Let's return to a place where every American has a stake in this country.
05:39Let's return to otherside lives.
