<v Speaker 2>hearing directly for the first time from the facility's owner.

10
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>In a statement, a spokesman for Dennis Etscorn says fire

11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.359

<v Speaker 2>to release files on conveyted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

18
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Trump and some of his top allies like FBI Director

19
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Cash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino, spent years stoking

20
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>shadowy conspiracy theories about Epstein, but now Trump attacking his

21
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>own supporters for wanting more information the stupid people. The

22
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>president's reversal has amped up scrutiny of his own relationship

23
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>with Epstein. The two men were friendly for more than

24
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>a decade, socializing in New York and Palm.

29
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>see what else she might know about the sex trafficking operation.

30
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>This comes as The Wall Street Journal says the removal

31
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>of one of its reporters from the White House press

32
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.159

<v Speaker 2>Amendment rights. Here CBS's Stacy Lynn.

34
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 3>The White House Correspondence Association calls the move unacceptable and says, quote,

35
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>this attempt by the White House to punish a media

36
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 3>outlet who's coverage it does not like is deeply troubling,

37
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 3>and it defies the First Amendment. Government retaliation against news

38
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>outlets based on the content of their reporting should concern

39
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 3>all who value free speech and an independent media.

40
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 2>White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt in a statement saying, quote,

41
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>due to the Wall Street Journal's fake and defamatory conduct,

42
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.719

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>it into ice cream, which then led it to be

98
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>sold to people who didn't know what was tainted, the

<v Speaker 2>a consumer product.

102
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 3>Now.

103
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Prosecutors say back in twenty twenty two, he mixed THHC

104
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>into cookies and cream ice cream and stored it in

105
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>a freezer in Newmarket, New Hampshire that he shared with

106
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the catering company. The paper reports. Eventually the catering company

107
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>bought the ice cream, took over the business, and unknowingly

108
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>sold the ice cream that had THHC in it with

109
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>their regular stock. Several customers were taken to the hospital

110
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.000
