Tim Burchett Swipes At Durbin, Lobs Major Accusation At Democratic Party Over Epstein Investigation

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) accused the Democratic Party of covering up the Epstein files during the Biden administration.

Transcript

00:00Thank you so much for joining us, Congressman.

00:02So Attorney General Bondi asked the federal judge to release grand jury testimony from the Epstein case.

00:06But as you know, that's only a fraction of the so-called Epstein files and evidence amassed as a result of the investigation.

00:13You've co-sponsored legislation with your colleague Thomas Massey to release all of the Epstein files.

00:19So I can't imagine you're content with this small, you know, discreet grand jury information being released.

00:26That's not enough, right?

00:30I think it's a start, Jake, and thank you for your fair reporting on this up to this point.

00:34I think Senator Klobuchar, as she likes to say, as a former prosecutor, you know, where the heck was she the last four years?

00:42Dick Durbin, and you're correct, he did effectively try to and did block my senator, Blackburn, from getting those files released.

00:51And it's clear what the Democrats are up to.

00:53They're tanking.

00:54The country knows it.

00:55Their biggest candidate in the whole country, Jake, is a guy, people, in New York, a guy, people are accusing of a communist.

01:04And what's he say?

01:05Oh, hey, I'm not a communist.

01:06I'm a socialist.

01:07As if that's a selling point.

01:09That's what the Democrat Party has fallen into.

01:12Where the heck have they been the last four years?

01:14I'm ticked off at everybody.

01:15Look, this thing should have been handled.

01:18Now we're at the point they're going to start dumping files.

01:21And my biggest fear in this, Jake, you've got 1,000 children that were abused by this dirtbag who's burning in hell right now, and he should be.

01:29And yet the American public's all poignant thing or trying to play politics with this thing.

01:33And it's not accurate.

01:35I applaud the president for wanting to release those files.

01:39I think it's a good start.

01:40I think we, you know, they keep saying he talked about it repeatedly, and that's just not accurate.

01:47He was asked two different times during the campaign about it, and he said, sure, we're going to release them.

01:53He also said he's going to release the UFO files and the Kennedy files, and we're still working on all that because it is a dadgum process.

02:00You've got innocent people on those flight logs that flew.

02:05President Trump has admitted he flew on those flights, on those flights, and dozens of other Americans, I'm sure, rode.

02:12I know a lot of wealthy people, Jake, and they fly on these dadgum planes, private planes.

02:17If one's broke down, they say, hey, I got a seat on this guy's plane.

02:20You want to ride with us to New York?

02:22And that's what happens.

02:24And so I caution America, though, when, if we need to have some sort of way to filter

02:30out the innocence in these things, and for Dick Durbin to start making his point now,

02:37I think that you all in the media should bust his tail for that

02:41because that is very disingenuous, and that is clearly a cover-up by the Democrat Party.
