00:00The President said that he floated the idea of a special prosecutor in the Epstein case.

00:06Can you confirm that? And has he asked the Attorney General to do this,

00:10to appoint a special prosecutor, to look it over?

00:13Well, the idea was floated from someone in the media to the President.

00:16The President would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case.

00:20That's how he feels. And as for his discussions with the Attorney General, I'm not sure.

00:30saying that he wants additional files released, the Epstein files?

00:34Was there a conversation with Mike Johnson about that following his comments?

00:38I won't discuss the President's private conversations with the Speaker of the House,

00:55I'll go to all of you, starting with the lady in the blue. Go ahead.
