00:00According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list.

00:06So what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?

00:12Well, I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview,

00:16which was on your network on Fox News.

00:18I've got the quote.

00:19John Roberts said,

00:20DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.

00:23Will that really happen?

00:24And she said, it's sitting on my desk right now to review.

00:27Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.

00:35That's what the Attorney General was referring to, and I'll let her speak for that.

00:38But again, when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice,

00:41they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.

00:46They have an operation going on right now called Summer Heat,

00:49which has our murder rate trending in the lowest direction in United States history.

00:54Their emphasis on violent crime and locking up violent criminals has led to the arrest of 14,000 violent criminals.

01:01That's a 62% increase from the same time period last year.

01:04So this Attorney General and the FBI Director are committed to putting bad people behind bars where they belong.

01:10They promised an exhaustive review.

01:13That's what they did.

01:14For any further details, I would refer you to the Department of Justice.

01:16Okay.
