00:00In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees.
00:05Not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one.
00:10They're demanding records. They're abusing the grand jury process.
00:14Digging through years and years of random documents.
00:17Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets.
00:21He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president.
00:25Because he hates that I've consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.
00:32Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt president in American history.
00:39He's turned the levers of government into his own personal power ministries to reward cronies and to try to jail
00:46his opponents.
00:47His personal attorney now runs the Department of Justice, which has repeatedly gone after his political enemies.
00:53Ask Jerome Powell sent them after James Comey, Trish James, Adam Schiff.
01:00He sent them after Tim Walz and a woman that a jury found Donald Trump had sexually abused.
01:08One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list.
01:13And today, I proudly join that list.
01:16After calling for my arrest last year, Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice to investigate me.
01:23And just in the last week, I've learned that his campaign has reached my own home.
01:28To get me, he's coming after my wife, Jen.
01:32A public servant.
01:33A woman who's dedicated her life to supporting women and girls.
01:38Someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in.
01:45If they can't intimidate me, they'll go after the mother of our children.
01:50Donald Trump picked the wrong target.
01:53We have nothing to hide.
01:55His political operatives can take every record and read every page, but they'll be looking in the wrong place.
02:02Because if they really want to find corruption, look no further than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
02:08Donald Trump is selling the presidency.
02:11He's running the largest cash heist in American political history.
02:16Trading foreign tariff relief for approval of his golf courses.
02:21Day trading behind the Resolute desk.
02:23Reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in personal profit.
02:27And he's doing it openly.
02:28He's doing it on camera.
02:30He did it last night on the White House lawn.
02:34He's doing it through cryptocurrencies.
02:36He's doing it through the receipt of a $400 million private jet from a foreign government that he plans to
02:43keep when he leaves office.
02:45Through his son's ventures in countries where his own administration is simultaneously making policy.
02:53His personal fortune has skyrocketed by $4 billion since making his return to office.
03:00This is the behavior of a regime, not a republic.
03:04The White House has become a marketplace, a marketplace for sneakers and coins and watches, cologne, guitars, Bibles, and phones.
03:13Influence for sale.
03:15Access for sale.
03:16And today, my family and I can personally confirm that justice is for sale.
03:23To Donald Trump, who I know is watching because he watches everything, I have a message for you.
03:30You can subpoena my records.
03:32You can investigate me.
03:34You can harass me.
03:36Put my name on every and any enemies list you have.
03:40But leave my wife and family out of your personal vendetta.
03:44I'd like to say something to my wife.
03:47These times are not normal.
03:49They're not ordinary.
03:51I love you.
03:52And I'm sorry he's doing this.
03:54You have not earned a single one of the indignities that he's trying to inflict on you and our children.
04:01And to Donald Trump, this country, this country does not belong to you.
04:06It does not belong to your cronies.
04:08And we're going to fight your lawlessness.
04:11And we're going to continue to remind the people of this country of your corruption.
04:16That same corruption our founders warned us against as we move to celebrate our 250th anniversary.
04:25I'm going to keep reminding Americans of what they warned would happen if a man with no character ever held
04:32the office of presidency.
04:34So let me say it again.
04:36Mr. President, come after me.
04:37I'm not going anywhere.
04:39And the country is watching.
