During a press gaggle on Tuesday, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) was asked about President Trump's handling of the Epstein files.
Transcript
00:00The President, I had a trip to Europe about three months ago, and what I talked to the European leaders about was the fact that they need to do their part, and it's happening.
00:12And every leader I talked to was supporting what's happening in Ukraine, and I'm glad the European Union and the members are showing up and putting their money up in supporting Ukraine.
00:24What do you think about the 50 days that the President has given Putin before further sanctions?
00:29It's been that many days. We all know who Putin is. Putin does want peace. From my standpoint, I think Trump's being very generous.
00:37I think we ought to have sanctions, we ought to have tariffs immediately, because he's not going to change.
00:42But I know the President's generous, and if there's anybody who can bring Putin to the table, it's Donald Trump.
00:47But is he being too generous?
00:49Well, I mean, look, he's the President, and he believes he can bring this together.
00:52I think Trump could look at all the things he's accomplished with what he did in Iran.
00:56But do you think there should be sanctions now?
00:58Well, I would love there to be sanctions now. I'd love there to be tariffs now.
01:02Senator, shifting gears, are you comfortable with the administration's handling of the Epstein investigation?
01:06And do you still have full confidence in Attorney General Bondi?
01:08Absolutely. Pam Bondi is a good friend of mine. She served as Attorney General when I was governor.
01:12She's honest. She's ethical. She's transparent. She's going to do the right thing.
01:15Senator, on tariffs itself, there have been signs that the prices are increasing because of tariffs.
01:19There was a report out today saying that. Are you constituents okay with paying more on goods because of these tariffs?
01:26I haven't seen the report. I'll look at the report.
01:29I do know that, you know, President Trump is trying to bring jobs back to this country.
01:33And that's why Zoom always Zoom with regard to the tariffs.
01:36Will the sanctions build problems?
01:38Thank you guys so much.
