All right, let me ask you about another major story. On Friday, the Justice Department released
what it said were the rest of the Epstein files. A group of Epstein survivors responded
with a statement saying it's not enough, saying, quote, Epstein's enablers continue to benefit from
secrecy. The Justice Department cannot claim it is finished releasing files until every legally
required document is released and every abuser and enabler is fully exposed. As long as the
survivors say that not enough is being done, has DOJ finished its work, in your opinion?
We all want every abuser and enabler to be fully exposed. We want justice to be done.
It's long overdue. But I do think the Department of Justice is complying with the law. We have now
3.5 million documents. You have over 2,000 videos and I think 180,000 images out there.
And as soon as they finish the final release, they give us the full report to Congress,
which is required under the law. And then they issue a, I think in the Federal Register,
they have to publish why they've made any redactions. The DOJ will have fully complied
with the law and done their job. But think of the mass, the volume of documents that they've
had to go through. Remember, they have to go through and make sure that they're protecting
the innocent. So some of these young women who were victimized, we do not want them to endure
further harm. And so that's been the intention is to make sure that their names are taken out.
President Trump's name appears throughout the Epstein files, including in many of the new
documents released this week. Now, we want to stress appearing in the Epstein files does
not amount to or imply criminal wrongdoing. But do you have any outstanding questions given that
about the relationship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein?
I do not. I mean, I've spoken to the president about this privately and personally many times,
and he's spoken very candidly and openly to the public. He says the same things privately that
he does publicly. He's never had any concern about that. Remember, President Trump was one
of the first people that called Epstein out. He kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago off the property
because he heard of some of the nefarious things he was engaged in. He's never had any concern
about that at all. He did at one point called these files a democratic hoax. But let me ask
you about some. Well, he what he said specifically was the hoax of the Democrats trying to turn this
into a political issue and use it against him.
