00:00After the two killings in Minneapolis, and I think there's a lot of video on them, Madam Secretary.
00:15I think people can see the video and draw their own conclusions.
00:20Are you and your department conducting an investigation of those?
00:26Sir, the investigation is being led by the FBI.
00:30HSI was involved.
00:32In fact, our HSI agents on the ground.
00:34I'm sorry to cut you off, but I got so little time.
00:37I believe at the time you said these were acts of domestic terrorism.
00:45Is that right?
00:47Sir, in answer to questions at the press conference that afternoon, it appeared to be.
00:54Yeah, but you said these appeared to be acts of domestic terrorism.
01:00And as I've said previously in this hearing, is that we were getting information from a chaotic scene on the
01:08ground and relaying information to the American people.
01:12Now, again, those videos or public people can draw their own conclusions.
01:19I think it'd be safe to say you got some pushback on that, but that'd be fair.
01:25Yes, sir.
01:27And you got some criticism.
01:28I'm not saying the criticism was accurate or inaccurate.
01:32I think you just, you did.
01:35What got my attention was that you blamed those statements on Mr. Stephen Miller at the White House.
01:45Did you not?
01:46No, sir, I did not.
01:47And in fact, where you're seeing that is in a news article of anonymous sources.
01:52And anonymous sources say a lot of things.
01:54But it is, I've never said that at all.
01:57Well, here's what you said on the record.
02:02I'm going to read your words.
02:04Quote, everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen.
02:11Sir, where did you see me say that at?
02:13You read that in a news article with no sources affiliated to it.
02:17You said it on the record on January 27th of 2026.
02:24Did you, did I read your words accurate?
02:26I enjoy working with the president and with Stephen Miller.
02:30And that day we were working to get as much information to the American people as possible.
02:35That is what we'll continue to do.
02:37And as that happens, we'll go forward.
02:39Do you think it was fair to blame Mr. Miller?
02:41Sir, I did not do that.
02:45You're reading from a newspaper article with anonymous sources.
02:50Are you denying that you said that?
02:52Sir, I'm not going to speak to that situation that is relayed on anonymous sources that no one has heard
03:00me say that.
03:01It was you.
03:02Who reported that to that newspaper.
03:04They're quoting you on the record, saying it's Stephen's fault.
03:09Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
03:10Senator Boba Jarre.
