“"I firmly believe, yeah, if you can name a specific person who abused a specific other person or engaged in truly illegal behavior that's been alleged, they should be prosecuted, they should be arrested. But I would always encourage people to look closely at what is actually proven in anything that's happened... you have to actually prove things."”

Why are they not being investigated? Can you pass this on to the Justice Department? Why are they not prosecuting them? So just as a matter of actual justice but also it is a broader look at what I would argue is a fundamental anger in this country that people who are wealthy and powerful are using their connections to shield themselves from the law.”

As I said, I'm going to answer all these.”

“It has been former AG Pam Bondi that has tried to bury this investigation. And just two days ago, Todd Blanche, the acting AG, said to the press that essentially the Epstein investigation was over and not a future part of DOJ investigations. And so for the first lady to inject herself this way and to bring this all back, I think was a pretty rare moment that we're seeing in this administration.”

If we have evidence, we'll go after these people."”
