The Todd Lynch today tried to argue that Donald Trump wanted these files released and he was pushing for it when we all know how hard he worked to stop the bipartisan legislation that mandated that disclosure. So his testimony was really duplicitous, particularly when it involved the Epstein files, but also with the whole weaponization of the Justice Department. At times he would brag, like when he goes before the conservative CPAC convention, about firing all of the prosecutors and the FBI agents who investigated his client, the president. And then when I asked him about that, he said, oh, that wasn't me. That wasn't me. He took no responsibility for it. And that was what we saw throughout the hearing.
