At Tuesday's House Democratic leadership press briefing, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) called for the release of the Epstein files.
Transcript
00:00Republicans are saying that your calls to bring out all the Epstein files are essentially disingenuous.
00:07It's very energetic to have all the Epstein files.
00:12It is now that the last four years of the Biden administration, those calls weren't there.
00:18Can you respond to that?
00:19I think that's false.
00:22Vice Chair Liu has been talking about this for a lot of years, so I'll let him speak.
00:25But this comes down to what are Republicans afraid of?
00:31What's in these documents that they're afraid of, and why won't they call for the release of them?
00:37Jeffrey Epstein was prosecuted under the Department of Justice under Donald Trump.
00:42Then he leaves the White House, and his closest friend spent four years amplifying theories about the case.
00:49Put up or shut up. Follow through or don't follow through.
00:51But the American people want the truth to come out, and Democrats are the ones leading the charge for that.
01:00During the Biden administration, I talked about the Epstein files, and I noted that Trump was all over the Epstein files that were already released.
01:08There's multiple pictures of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
01:11There's multiple videos.
01:13There are bizarre quotes from Trump about Epstein.
01:16There are plain logs of Trump on Epstein's plane, and now we know there's this creepy birthday card.
01:21I was supposed to do four Pinocchio's for that, didn't they?
01:24And guess what?
01:25I'm right, and he was wrong.
01:27Because, again, Trump is all over the Epstein files.
01:30Let me just say again what I just said.
01:32There are multiple pictures of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, right?
01:36There are multiple videos of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
01:39Trump is on Jeffrey Epstein's plane logs.
01:42There are weird quotes from Trump about Epstein.
01:44There are court pleadings with Trump named, and now we know there's this creepy birthday card Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday.
01:52So I am right.
01:54That fact-checker was wrong.
01:56And why do you think we have this entire explosion now about Epstein?
02:00Because Attorney General Pam Bondi, here's the difference, went on national TV and told American people that Jeffrey Epstein's client list was, quote, sitting on my desk right now.
02:12Where's that client list?
02:13Why doesn't she release it?
02:18Can't take down the props.
02:19Go ahead.
02:19Go ahead.
