WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.000 So my lawsuit against Attorney General Toblanche over the Epstein 2 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:08.919 files is just one part of a bigger movement to 3 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.480 achieve transparency and truth when it comes to the greatest 4 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.199 cover up that is happening in real time in American history. 5 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.359 And part of that movement and part of that progress 6 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:27.960 relies upon Congress doing its job on oversight to expose 7 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:34.960 people that are actively conspiring to hide very important people's 8 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.200 involvement in these Epstein files. And they're also trying to 9 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.200 make sure that we don't get the unredacted documents. That's 10 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.759 why the role of Congress from Robert Garcia as the 11 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.759 Chair of House Oversight, That's why having a majority by 12 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:56.439 Democrats in Congress through winning those races in November become 13 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:01.640 so critically important. Congress from Robert Garcia is fighting so 14 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.439 hard on so many different fronts, not just the Epstein files. 15 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.480 But he has made it explicitly clear that once Democrats 16 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.439 regain the majority and he becomes the Chair of House Oversight, 17 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.120 all bets are off when it comes to trying to 18 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.400 reel in House Oversights investigation into the Epstein files. He 19 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.719 talks about public hearings, he talks about using subpoenas versus 20 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.799 this BS transcribed interview thing where nobody's under oath, they're 21 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.120 not videotaped, and they're not public. This is the type 22 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.480 of transparency that we deserve and we demand from our 23 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.799 members of Congress. Congressman Garcia joins me to be able 24 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.040 to talk about why James Comer, the current chairff House 25 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.879 Oversight Republican, why his claim that the investigation by House 26 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.920 Oversight into the Epstein files getting wrapped up by Christmas 27 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.640 of this year, why that's a pipe dream, and why 28 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:03.120 he thinks Malania Trump is recipient number one of a 29 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.959 subpoena from House Oversight once he becomes the chipper. Joining 30 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.599 me now is somebody that I have always said and 31 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.400 continues to be one of the greatest fighters for transparency, 32 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.919 especially in Washington, d C. Congressman Robert Garcia, Congressman, it's good. 33 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:18.280 To see you. 34 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.159 Always good to see you, Katie. 35 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.840 So you know, I just came out of a big 36 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.439 hearing yesterday on my lawsuit against oh I was about 37 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.840 to call him acting, but I guess he's not. 38 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.280 He crossed that threshold. 39 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.520 Attorney General Todd Blanche over the Epstein files, and that 40 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.560 is something that you and I have in common when 41 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.560 it comes to the pursuit of getting the unredacted files. 42 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.800 Were redacted for the proper stuff, with holdings for the 43 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.840 proper stuff, but otherwise compliance with the law. I stumbled 44 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.960 on a quote I have to start with you. It's 45 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.360 from the Chair of Oversight, James Comer, and he said, 46 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.360 I fully expect criminal referrals and some things we found 47 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.520 enough that I believe the Department of Justice should look 48 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.759 into certain people. We're going to do everything we can 49 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.000 to hold anyone accountable who's still alive. Because he's doing 50 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.639 this after quote years of depositions on Comer promising criminal 51 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.680 referrals by Christmas, it's August, and I'm a little bit 52 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.319 surprised that we're not in a better position to be 53 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.879 able to make some serious criminal referrals to DJ on 54 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.919 this absolutely. 55 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.800 I mean, look a couple of things. One, thank you first, 56 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.719 Katie for everything you're doing. Obviously we're following it very closely. 57 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.879 It's really important. I think the public should know that. 58 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.199 Anyone you know, obviously you and your capacity others are 59 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.159 involved in other pieces of the investigation. 60 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:40.280 All these lawsuits. 61 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.879 Particularly what you're doing is so critical in pushing the 62 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.479 courts and getting the truth, pushing the DJ So thank 63 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:46.759 you for. 64 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.000 All you're doing. 65 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.280 You know, look, I think it's comical that James Comber 66 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.479 is now saying a few things. 67 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.520 He's saying, we're gonna get criminal referrals. Okay, great, we 68 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:56.199 want to see him. 69 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.759 He's saying the Epstein investigation is going to be wrapped 70 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.439 up by the end of the year. What yeah, I look, 71 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.199 he's living on another planet. The reality is we have 72 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.319 not had one public hearing on the Epstein investigation in 73 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.840 the con not one. So I don't know where these 74 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.279 these criminal referrals and the investigation, how it's going to end. 75 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.680 When we've actually brought nobody in front of the public, 76 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.560 then majority of the witnesses he's put in front of 77 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.360 us have not been under oath, and so we're asking 78 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.600 all of these witnesses who we want to speak to, 79 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.519 and granted we've gotten some good information and some good leads, 80 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.279 but but they've also not been under oath, and so 81 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.720 my confidence level and thinking that they've all been honest, 82 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.639 honest and truthful is not really there. In fact, I 83 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.720 think many of them have been straight out lying or 84 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.519 deceiving the committee and to not have them under oath 85 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.920 really limit our ability, uh to put in place, you know, 86 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.480 all the protections of holding those folks accountable right to 87 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.279 the law. So that's very problematic. And then this idea 88 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.560 that commit the majority and the DOJ haven't really sat 89 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.519 down with the survivors and to understand their stories and 90 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.519 get their perspective, except for this kind of rushed meeting 91 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.079 that Todd Blanche set up before his confirmation. Look, we're 92 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.560 just getting started on uncovering all the layers of this investigation, 93 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.120 the financials, what's not been released. James Comer should be 94 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:26.360 calling for the other half of the Epstein files that 95 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.199 have not been released. I mean, he wants to close 96 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.439 an investigation when half the evidence and likely some of 97 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.759 the most important the public hasn't even seen yet. So 98 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.079 we have a lot of work to do when we 99 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.680 flip the House and actually have real subpoena power and 100 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.800 access to be filing lawsuits in the courts, which fortunately 101 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.959 so many others and you, especially in your case most 102 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:46.800 importantly are doing. 103 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.120 Yeah, and I want to get to how important it 104 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.279 is for the Democrats to have a majority so that 105 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.000 you are the chair of House Oversight in November, but 106 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.360 I wanted you to please remind the viewers who are 107 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.800 tuning in, because this is a very important perceptional thing 108 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.680 that I want to make sure is crystal clear. It's 109 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.319 the chair, James Comer, who dictates whether these interviews that 110 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.199 are being done with people that are coming in front 111 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.720 of oversight, whether they are just transcribed interviews, or whether 112 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.439 they are done like under oath, on video, et cetera, 113 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.920 because I, as a trivelawyer, have a frustration that these 114 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.120 are not done on videos so that we can see 115 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.480 these people's credibility, their body language, the way that they're 116 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.800 maybe evasive in the way that they're answering. And to 117 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.319 your well taken point, the absence of an oath under 118 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.079 penalties of perjury, and I understand false statements to Congress 119 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.879 are still a crime, but there is something incredibly powerful 120 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.360 about taking an oath to tell the truth, knowing that 121 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.279 there is very real consequence if you don't tell the truth. 122 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.759 Absolutely, and it's we just you know, We've asked Comer 123 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.319 to change the style of these interviews. We've asked them 124 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.240 to make them public, We've asked them to video tape them, 125 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:57.800 We've asked them to put them all under oath, and 126 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.360 he's refused, and I think, you know the question, we 127 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.879 have to ask the question why these are not unreasonable requests. 128 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.240 I think the average average person that's kind of following 129 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.920 casually what was happening, they would say, of course, we 130 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.839 want those things to be in place. 131 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.399 And this is Republicans and Democrats. 132 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.040 You ask anybody these you know, the Epstein files investigation 133 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.000 is like the most bipartisan thing in the country. 134 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.439 Everybody wants justice. 135 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.040 Everybody wants those that committed these horrific acts and harm 136 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.560 and rape and the abuse of women and children. They 137 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.240 want people behind bars or for there to be criminal convictions. 138 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.920 And so we're not sure why there is this kind 139 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.680 of agreement. It seems like to cover this up. Right 140 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.560 from day one, you've had the President of the United 141 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.480 States and the Attorney General at the time, Pambondi, making 142 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.240 the clear decision to cover this up, that this was 143 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.680 going to be a hoax, nothing was going to get released, 144 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.279 there's nothing else to share. And then we've fought every 145 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.160 step of the way to get bits and pieces out 146 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.879 video data, different files, emails, and we're finally beginning to 147 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.879 put together and piece together this whole timeline of what's happening, 148 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.680 and there's so much more information that we need, whether 149 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.839 it's from the Epstein estate, certainly from the DJ We 150 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.160 need the three million missing files, and we don't know. 151 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.040 What's actually been redacted, what's been kept from us. 152 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.800 And you know, there's there's so much happening. And one 153 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.519 other thing, Kay, I think it's really important for your 154 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.959 for your viewers to know. You know, Todd Blantch just 155 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.680 came out with this kind of expanded definition of privilege 156 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.079 that he just put out there. I know, I wish 157 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.440 the media, the Legacy, MEDYA would be reporting on this 158 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.600 because I don't think people understand how bad this is. 159 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.840 What Todd blanch Is basically said is that no longer 160 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.759 is executive privilege between the president and other kind of 161 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.360 White House kind of oval office agency employees, but it 162 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.399 now extends to whoever the president views as an advisor, 163 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.679 and it's retroactive. And so imagine now that anyone that 164 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.919 Donald Trump has talked to about the Epstein investigation, the 165 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.720 situation room meetings and a cover up any directions that 166 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.519 he may have been giving anyone conversations you might be 167 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.399 having with other people outside the government. 168 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.480 Those are now all going to be privileged. 169 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.759 This is Dayton and look, it's not legal, it's certainly 170 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.799 not constitutional. We're going to this is a challenge in 171 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.840 the courts. But sure, I think in between, I think 172 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.480 this is really dangerous stuff we're. 173 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.799 Dealing with, and the challenge in the courts, and it's 174 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.879 something that I'm obviously experiencing, is you have to respect 175 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:34.720 the process. 176 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.480 But the delay only a. 177 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:40.360 Nurse to the benefit of the abusers of people like 178 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.480 Donald Trump, like people who are actively participating in a concealment, 179 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.559 a cover up. Right, So the delay of having to 180 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.879 litigate the applicability, the breath, the legality of this type 181 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.799 of executive privilege just delays transparency, which reminds me and 182 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.799 I'm so glad you brought up the DJ in this context. 183 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.120 The Department of Justice, when led by Pam Bondi in 184 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.200 August of twenty twenty five, a year ago, Congressman Garcia 185 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.480 was lawfully served with a Congressional subpoena from House Oversight, 186 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.320 and that was courtesy of you and Congresswoman Summerly, an 187 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.759 incredible one to two punch of getting a vote to 188 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.559 be able to get that subpoena issued. It called for 189 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.360 the production of the entirety of the Epstein files. This 190 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.480 is even before the Epstein Files Transparency Act was even 191 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.399 passed into law. Yet as we sit here in August 192 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.159 of twenty twenty six, a year later, give or take, Congressman, 193 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.039 how much have you gotten from the DOJ pursu into 194 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:39.240 that subpoena, I. 195 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.480 Mean, pursue it to that subpoena. We probably got the 196 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:47.960 initial batch with maybe three percent of the entire entirety 197 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:52.159 of the files. They never this is a lawful subpoena 198 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.240 of the Congress. And of course, and this is what 199 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.039 people don't get is when you're not in the majority, 200 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.399 you don't have the ability to then go to court 201 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:01.559 on behalf of the House. 202 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.360 Okay, See this is important make sure people understand process 203 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.720 and procedure because I know people get frustrated and they're like, 204 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.200 where's the follow up? So let people know what would 205 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.840 be the procedure if you were the chair and you 206 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.639 had a majority by the Democrats to be able to 207 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:14.919 do this. 208 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.679 See, if we were in the majority, we not only 209 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:18.000 would be. 210 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.360 Able to obviously direct subpoenas get the information that we 211 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.799 need from a variety of sources. We would have the 212 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.399 ability to go to the court on behalf of the 213 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.159 US House and demand the court to take action, but 214 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.639 you can only do that if you're in the majority. 215 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.679 And I think people really understand that piece of it, 216 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.320 and so we have to force our way to get 217 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.279 the House to act like we did with some of 218 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.240 these subpoena emotions, which the DJ continues to not to 219 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.360 basically ignore, and which is why again these lawsuits by you. 220 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.639 Norm Issen has another a couple other lawsuits in his 221 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.840 organization and other parts of the EPT investigation. They're so 222 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.039 important because we don't have that same ability, and so 223 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.399 we're watching what's happening with your actions very carefully, and 224 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.480 certainly when we're in the majority, it's going to be 225 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:12.240 a brand new day. 226 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.480 Well, you know, it's mind boggling if I'm a congressman. 227 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.840 Is this Like one component that came out of my 228 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:23.679 hearing yesterday in my lawsuit is handwritten FBI notes from 229 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.080 four meetings with the FBI with a victim who alleges 230 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.960 that when she was thirteen years old. 231 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.200 These are the allegations. 232 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.799 That she was sexually abused by the now president of 233 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.720 the United States Donald Trump, and that she was physically battered. 234 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.120 Those are the allegations she has raised. The FBI met 235 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:43.799 with her four separate times, conducted four separate interviews, the 236 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.320 three h two reports. The official reports were eventually released 237 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.519 by the Trump DOJ, but the underlying handwritten notes have 238 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.799 never been turned over either to the public or even 239 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.679 to you in Congress. You are a Congressman, I'm just 240 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.279 a lowly person in this food chain right of importance. 241 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:08.679 But Judge Sullivan yesterday said that the unredacted handwritten FBI 242 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.559 notes are to be produced to him in chambers for 243 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.039 his review, which would be the first time that anybody 244 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.320 out of that chain of custody at DJ or FBI 245 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.080 would have ever seen these documents. 246 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.960 It is mind boling to me and nobody. 247 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.840 The DOJ lawyer couldn't even answer Congressman how many pieces 248 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.799 of paper were at issue, which I don't know if 249 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.320 it was a credible statement made by a competent attorney 250 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.159 in a court of law. So how important is it, 251 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.759 considering the fact that the universe, as purportedly alleged by 252 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.200 Todd Land, is like six million documents, how important is 253 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.759 it for there to be a fulsome review by House 254 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:48.279 oversight before James Comber declares this to be a closed 255 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.200 investigation or a closed review. 256 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:52.559 It's so important. 257 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.600 And look, whether James Comer declares a closed case or not, 258 00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.480 you know, well, we're going to ignore that because there's 259 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.240 a lot of work to do ahead obviously on this investigation. 260 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.799 But I want to get back to this, these three 261 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.480 h two's and the what. 262 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.600 You're discussing, right, So I think the public should also 263 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.000 know that when the Epstein files were first put out, 264 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:17.799 the documents related to this allegation right that was made 265 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.240 by this woman who was thirteen at the time about 266 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:27.919 the president, these were highly redacted and overly redacted and 267 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.960 were missing. Exact they were placed, they were put out, 268 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.399 then they got missed. Yeah, exactly, they were missing and 269 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:40.399 they were gone. And it was not only until overside Democrats, 270 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.960 I myself went into the system a bunch of us 271 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.960 and saw that the documentation in there is basically a 272 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.000 kind of table of contents that showed all the documents 273 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.799 that should be in these reports. When we went to 274 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.320 go look at the actual reports, they were gone and 275 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.320 it was these exact kind of three twos in documents 276 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:06.679 surrounding this investigation in reference to the president, those weren't there. 277 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:11.600 They deliberately did not include them until we said, but 278 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.600 wait a minute, we have this manifest that explained that 279 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.240 these documents should exist. It wasn't until then that the 280 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.440 documents were then produced, and so they've been trying to 281 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.080 cover this up from the get go and anytime. 282 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.919 Look, I'll be the first to. 283 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.879 Say, I mean, you know, obviously, as a Laura, you 284 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.919 understand this from an investigation perspective. We're talking about allegations here, 285 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.720 serious ones against the president. But at the end of 286 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:40.879 the day, to be interviewed four times by the FBI, 287 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.600 that is that is not common. They wanted more information. 288 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.720 There was definitely back and forth, and so the public 289 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.840 and the Congress has a right to see all of 290 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:55.120 these notes in all of these documents. And I'm glad 291 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.799 that the judge agrees with you on this, and certainly 292 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.519 we do as well. 293 00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.879 So correspond. 294 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.519 One thing that you have pledged once the Democrats take 295 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.399 the majority in November after successful midterms, are subpoenas to 296 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.399 be issued. You mentioned that at the top of that 297 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.000 list is a woman by the name of Malania Trump. 298 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.840 Why do you think it's important to make sure that 299 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.480 a subpoena or some type of an investigative vehicle is 300 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.759 chased down to be able to talk to Malani and 301 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:25.320 Trump about the Epstein fives. 302 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:30.320 Well, First Republicans have set a precedent that we can 303 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.639 subpoena and talk to First ladies and former first ladies 304 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.039 and family members of presidents I Hunter, Biden and others, 305 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.919 and so that president has been laid out the Clintons, 306 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.960 and we've seen it happen. Second, I mean, is there 307 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.519 any does anyone here across the country think that the 308 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.480 First Lady doesn't have additional information? 309 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:54.960 I mean, especially after that bizarre presser best conference. 310 00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:00.360 Yeah, she herself wants their investigation to move for I 311 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.480 mean she made that very clear. 312 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.799 And so we're very interesting the way. 313 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.559 It wasn't a hoax. 314 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.799 Trump wants to call it a hoax, but she didn't 315 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.799 say it was a hoax at. 316 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.720 All, exactly right. 317 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.400 And I think it's there's no question that we want 318 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.440 to talk to the First Lady. Uh, Milania clearly has information. 319 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:20.079 There's a lot of speculation about who knew who when, 320 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:24.640 who was introduced to who, and how when and how, 321 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.680 and so I think those are valid questions. And I 322 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:31.160 think that if if Milania Trump wants real justice for 323 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.839 the survivors, then she would work with us to try 324 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.960 to get the truth. And so that's going to be 325 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.200 an important part of this is as is going to 326 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.079 be talking to all those players in the Situation Room 327 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.079 that we're all planning on how they were going to 328 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:49.119 exonerate Donald Trump, starting with jd Vance. Why is jd 329 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:54.000 Vance leading secret meetings that nobody was supposed to find 330 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.519 out about in the situation room which is meant for 331 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:04.279 national security emergencies with Susie Wheles and Pambondi and Cash Well, yeah, 332 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.000 and I mean this seems like serious stuff, not a hoax. 333 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:12.079 You don't hold situation room meetings for a hoax. And 334 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.359 it was out of these meetings that they began discussing 335 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.240 the Glainne Maxwell connection. They began talking about how they're 336 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.000 going to use Glaine Maxwell to somehow exonerate Donald Trump. 337 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.240 So, look, there's a cover up here. There's no question. 338 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.599 There's a lot more to the story. 339 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.200 And the survivors aren't going to give up till all 340 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.799 the files are released, and we're not. 341 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.680 Either quickly before I have to let you go to Congressman. 342 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:36.799 This is something that I always want to make sure 343 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.079 that I cover with you and other members of Congress. 344 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.839 There's other work that you are doing at Oversight. I 345 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:46.079 want to make sure people understand that Oversight is not 346 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.960 just Epstein. There may be a lot of visibility surrounding 347 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:52.839 the Epstein files and the work that Oversight is doing, 348 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.240 and more specifically the Democrats on House Oversight, but let 349 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.440 some folks know about some other major issues because people 350 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.640 care about the Epstein files, but of course we care 351 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.640 about the affordability issues, the illegal war. I mean, there's 352 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.240 a lot of stuff that's still going on, and I 353 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.079 want to make sure that people understand the hard work 354 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.519 that Democrats are doing a House oversight for the American people. 355 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.279 Yeah. 356 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.160 Sure, things we've got, We've got We've got a bunch 357 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.079 of investigations, probably over a dozen really serious ones. Three 358 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.920 others that are really critical. Briefly, one is we're really 359 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:28.240 focused on Trump family corruption. Uh, you know, the all 360 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.880 the money to Jared Kusher from the Saudi's, Eric Trump 361 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.119 and Donald Trump Junior cutting deals for the organization, the 362 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.279 contracts at the Pentagon, to boards that Donald that Don 363 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.160 Junior is sitting on. I mean, give me a break. 364 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.680 The cryptos scheme, Trump getting billions of dollars, richer selling 365 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.400 of the parties, I mean, the Trump family is is 366 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.839 just full of of corruption and actions, we believe, and 367 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.359 we're going to be investigating all of those. Another one 368 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.720 is Ice and DHS. There we've had a lot of 369 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:01.519 reports of pay to play. Why are all why they've 370 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:05.200 turned into this immigrant their immigration and their deportation scheme 371 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:10.039 really into a bonanza for all of these private contractors 372 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.440 and buddies and donors of Donald Trump, and so there 373 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.799 is now they've made it an industry of detention and deportation, 374 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.119 and we got to understand that, and we're going after that. 375 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.640 And then I'll say, finally, this doesn't get enough attention, 376 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:27.200 but the destruction of our vaccination and our programs at 377 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.720 HHS at the CDC are making us less healthy and 378 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.039 quite frankly, are putting us in a very very dangerous 379 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.839 place as it relates to the next pandemic. There will 380 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.559 be a next pandemic, and we are not prepared. We 381 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:46.119 are destroying our systems. We are making ourselves less healthy, 382 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:50.480 we are being vaccinated less and we have fired all 383 00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.960 of the leading experts across the country that do this 384 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:57.240 work because RFK Junior instead would rather wear a tinfoil 385 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.599 hat and make decisions about our health on his own. 386 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.039 And so these are all issues that Oversight is focused on, 387 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.480 and they will be our key issues in the majority. 388 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:07.519 Listen. 389 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.200 You are always so generous with your time. I know 390 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.559 that the viewers and the listeners they really appreciate how 391 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.480 willing you are to lay it all out there, and 392 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.880 you have completely eliminated the black box surrounding the information 393 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.119 about the work that's being done in DC, especially by 394 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.640 Democrats at House Oversight. So thank you so much, Congressman 395 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.359 Garcia for joining me, and thank you for the work 396 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:32.880 that your team does. I think there's a lot of 397 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:37.200 unsung heroes at House Oversight, your staffers, like there are 398 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.599 people that are working and investigating that don't get any 399 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.000 of the attention that I know that they're working really hard, 400 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.240 So my shout out to them. I know that you 401 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.200
