Wallace What do you ░░░░░░░░ are your questions about ░░░░░░░░ s in the documents ░░░░░░░░ mean what do you ░░░░░░░░ to know the answer ░░░░░░░░ RASKIN Well there have ░░░░░░░░ so many claims made ░░░░░░░░ I think that the ░░░░░░░░ on both sides of ░░░░░░░░ aisle will want to ░░░░░░░░ those questions So is ░░░░░░░░ a list of Epstein ░░░░░░░░ that he either kept ░░░░░░░░ reasons of solicitation and ░░░░░░░░ and the execution of ░░░░░░░░ sick conspiracy or did ░░░░░░░░ maintain that for purposes ░░░░░░░░ you know coercion coercion ░░░░░░░░ people for certain things ░░░░░░░░ it a blackmail list ░░░░░░░░ who s on that ░░░░░░░░ There are obviously a ░░░░░░░░ of names that have ░░░░░░░░ floated out there I ░░░░░░░░ t want to repeat ░░░░░░░░ of them but those ░░░░░░░░ are you know all ░░░░░░░░ the internet And is ░░░░░░░░ true or is it ░░░░░░░░ true There are all ░░░░░░░░ of extravagant claims being ░░░░░░░░ about other people being ░░░░░░░░ other institutions being involved ░░░░░░░░ we either need to ░░░░░░░░ to the bottom of ░░░░░░░░ that s true or ░░░░░░░░ should put an end ░░░░░░░░ all of the propaganda ░░░░░░░░ the conspiracy theories It ░░░░░░░░ going to be very ░░░░░░░░ for us if the ░░░░░░░░ is going to proceed ░░░░░░░░ on falsehoods and conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ and then allow that ░░░░░░░░ erode public trust So ░░░░░░░░ think there is something ░░░░░░░░ what a lot of ░░░░░░░░ Republicans are saying that ░░░░░░░░ needs to be done ░░░░░░░░ restore public trust at ░░░░░░░░ point Wallace Megyn Kelly ░░░░░░░░ accuses Trump of directing ░░░░░░░░ General Pam Bondi in ░░░░░░░░ she describes as a ░░░░░░░░ up What do you ░░░░░░░░ of that theory RASKIN ░░░░░░░░ I again I don ░░░░░░░░ know what is taking ░░░░░░░░ behind the scenes I ░░░░░░░░ also find it very ░░░░░░░░ to believe though that ░░░░░░░░ Trump wants to release ░░░░░░░░ but Pam Bondi is ░░░░░░░░ defying his orders in ░░░░░░░░ releasing it And you ░░░░░░░░ I can think of ░░░░░░░░ of reasons that Pam ░░░░░░░░ should be asked to ░░░░░░░░ especially her complicity with ░░░░░░░░ all of these January ░░░░░░░░ prosecutors which is outrageous ░░░░░░░░ this would not be ░░░░░░░░ reason I think to ░░░░░░░░ Pam Bondi s resignation ░░░░░░░░ it s Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ s making the call ░░░░░░░░ for whatever reason He ░░░░░░░░ he was going to ░░░░░░░░ it and now he ░░░░░░░░ saying there s nothing ░░░░░░░░ see here and appears ░░░░░░░░ be wanting to sweep ░░░░░░░░ whole thing under the ░░░░░░░░ And I think that ░░░░░░░░ an irresponsible way to ░░░░░░░░ after having inflamed millions ░░░░░░░░ millions of people in ░░░░░░░░ country and raised all ░░░░░░░░ of doubts about our ░░░░░░░░ enforcement commitment to prosecuting ░░░░░░░░ sex abuse I mean ░░░░░░░░ there are literally other ░░░░░░░░ on this list who ░░░░░░░░ somehow implicated in these ░░░░░░░░ it is dangerous to ░░░░░░░░ health and safety not ░░░░░░░░ release the names publicly ░░░░░░░░ all of it is ░░░░░░░░ concoction and an invention ░░░░░░░░ I think they need ░░░░░░░░ come clean about that ░░░░░░░░ say they don t ░░░░░░░░ such a list or ░░░░░░░░ s made up or ░░░░░░░░ have you But I ░░░░░░░░ it s very dangerous ░░░░░░░░ to leave these things ░░░░░░░░ out there.”
