In May, Attorney General Bondi reportedly told Trump that his name had indeed appeared multiple times throughout the Epstein files. And not long thereafter in July, you and the Attorney General released a memo claiming that, quote, no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted. In a few short months, how did you go from being a crusader for accountability and transparency for the Epstein files to being a part of the conspiracy in cover -up. The answer is simple. You said it yourself because of who's on that list. Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein over the years is well documented. A week ago, the oversight committee released Trump's disturbing birthday book, Note to Epstein, written over a drawing of a woman's naked body referring to a quote, wonderful secret. The oversight committee obtained the note from the Epstein estate, not from the FBI, raising questions again of whether the FBI has been withholding documents.
