00:00There is hope here. We fought the president, the attorney general, the FBI director,
00:07the speaker of the house, and the vice president to get this win.
00:12But they're on our side today, though. So let's give them some credit as well.
00:19They are finally on the side of justice. And as Roe said, don't muck it up in the Senate.
00:26Don't get too cute. We're all paying attention. If you want to add some additional protections for
00:31these survivors, go for it. But if you do anything that prevents any disclosure,
00:36you are not for the people and you are not part of this effort. Do not muck it up in
00:42the Senate.
00:43Behind me, I have three documents from the DOJ production that are emblematic of the massive
00:48failure of the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. To my right is an email
00:55that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to redact.
01:01Or, sorry, a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released
01:07this email in the document production. Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors,
01:14you did. And they're getting phone calls. A lot of these people didn't want to be known.
01:19And we know you touched the document because you redacted one name and you redacted the lawyer's
01:25name, but you left the survivor's name there. The next document I want to show you,
01:30that was in the title, the victims' survivors' names, right? The title of this one is Child Sex
01:37Trafficking. Co-Conspirators. Fully Redacted. And by the way, I'm going to unredact them here.
01:48Les Wexner is in this. Now your assistant, your deputy attorney general said, oh, well,
01:56he appears hundreds of times in the files. But he doesn't appear in this file until I forced you to
02:02release it, where he's listed as a co-conspirator, not to tax evasion, but to child sex trafficking,
02:11not to prostitution, not to money laundering, child sex trafficking.
02:17And then finally, what we have here, the third exhibit that I have is emblematic of the FD302 release.
02:26These are the documents that we need, that you're holding onto and over-redacting because they have
02:33the names of the men who are implicated. How do we know? Because the survivors gave testimony
02:40to the FBI, and it's in there. And what happens when you go to the portal at the DOJ to
02:47look at
02:48what's behind this redaction? Another redaction. So we can't even see them. And then there's some of
02:54these files you've pulled down from the website that we will never see. Because we can't search
03:01the redactions. So I have several questions for you. Who's responsible? Are you able to track who in
03:09your organization made this massive failure and released the victim's names? Are you able to track
03:15who it was that obscured Les Wexner's name as a co-conspirator in an FBI document? Do you have that
03:23kind of accountability? I believe Wexner's name was listed more than 4,000 times?
03:32Yeah, I already told you that. This is where he's listed as a co-conspirator.
03:35Can I finish my answer? Come on. Let me finish my answer. We corrected that within 40 minutes. He was
03:43already, you're acting like everybody's trying to cover up Wexner's name.
03:47Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. This isn't how this works.
03:52Can I have my time back? Mr. Chairman. The general lady can give her answer. The time
03:57belongs to the gentleman. All right. I'm reclaiming my time. Can I give my answer?
04:00So I'm going to put the language of the bill up on the screen.
04:04Chairman, may I give my answer on that? It's a political joke and I need to give my answer on
04:10that.
04:10We'll let the, we'll let the attorney general respond and then the gentleman can move to his next
04:14question. Chairman, it's my time. Within 40 minutes, you asked me a question.
04:17You can give me. Within 40 minutes,
04:19Wexner's name was added back. Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.
04:24Red-handed. There was one redaction out of over 4,700. Where he's listed as a co-conspirator.
04:30And we invited you in. You know what? Shut the video.
04:32We in. This guy has Trump derangement syndrome. He needs to get, you're a failed politician.
04:38Chairman, please restore his time and remind the witness of the rules here.
04:42There is no credible information. None. If there were, I would bring the case yesterday
04:47that he trafficked to other individuals. Is that your position as well?
04:54My position is any victim who comes forward, of course, we would love to hear from them.
05:021-800-CALL-FBI. Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years? Did you talk about Epstein
05:10at all the last four years? I'm reclaiming my time. I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland.
05:14You don't get a reclaim time. Because this is bigger than Watergate.
05:16When I don't answer a question the way you want. This goes over four administrations.
05:20You don't have to go back to Biden. Let's go back to Obama. Let's go back to George Bush.
05:24This cover-up spans decades. And you are responsible for this portion of it.
05:30And that's where you're the- Now, I want to know at what point, at what point
05:34did the FBI and the DOJ decide that Lex Wessner was not a co-conspirator? Because
05:40our Epstein Files Transparency Act requires you, please put it back on the screen, please,
05:47to release the internal decision about whether to prosecute him or not. And it's not in the files,
05:53and it's not in the files for any of these other men.
05:55The time of the gentleman has expired. May she answer?
05:59And he's a hypocrite because he voted against the ban that we were talking about on deep fake
06:05AI porn. Only two people voted against it, and you were one of them, hypocrite.
06:12The gentleman's time has expired.
06:15For what purpose does the gentleman from Kentucky seek recognition?
06:18I ask unanimous consent to address the House for one minute.
06:21Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.
06:28Mr. Speaker, it's been a year since the President signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act,
06:34and the government continues to withhold over three million files. That's why we've introduced
06:39the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to bring the fight to the state court's accountability to the
06:44Department of Justice and closure for survivors. We want perpetrators of these crimes to be
06:51investigated and prosecuted. Men like Jess Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkhom,
06:59Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frederick Fekai, Eduardo Teodorani, John Luke Brunel, conveniently dead by suicide in prison,
07:08Daniel Sead, recently discovered dead in Paris, Ramsey Elkholi, and Prince Andrew, who committed
07:15sex crimes in the United States, too. And women like Leslie Groff, not a victim, who conspired with
07:21Epstein to traffic other women. Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice
07:27Justice into delivering justice. I yield back.
