I think what happened, Mr. Patel, is that suddenly you discovered that Donald Trump's name was all over these files and you started a giant cover -up. So you are under oath, Mr. Patel. You just testified to Mr. Swalwell that you did not speak to the president about the Epstein files. To your knowledge did Attorney General Pam Bondi speak to the president about what was in the Epstein files? I can't speak for Attorney General Pam Bondi. So to your knowledge you don't have any information. The question was do you have any knowledge? Do you have any knowledge?
