The word Trump comes up 4 ,896 times when you search the Epstein files, which is interesting considering this testimony from FBI Director Cash Patel back in September of last year. You said you don't know the number of times Trump's name appears in the files, so it could at least be 1 ,000 times. Is that right? You can characterize the numbers however you want it. You can claim me my time, Director. It sounds like if you don't know the number, it could at least be 1 ,000 times. Which could it be? It's not. Is it at least 500 times? No. Is it at least 100 times? No. Then what's the number? I don't know the number, but it's not that. Well, he was telling the truth. It isn't 100.
