REGARDEZ : Bondi a refusé de répondre à des questions sur les dossiers Trump et Epstein, dit Garcia

Great, thank you. Um, I'm ranking member Robert Garcia, Oversight Democrats. I'm going to have some remarks and then I'm going to have a few folks are also going to give some remarks and then I'll answer any questions. We are on a break right now from the interview, and so I want to make sure that we answer some questions. Let me just start by um sharing with the American public what we're actually right now in this transcribed interview to repeat what we continue to say. It is a shame and a disservice to the American people that this interview is not being recorded videotaped, and then released to the American public and that she was not brought in under oath. We continue to say that this should be recorded by video and released to the American public, and we're also asking that Chairman Comer immediate immediately release the transcripts that right now are being done throughout today. I want to also say just uh a few, a few other things. It is clear in justice, this, this part of the, of the interview. that she continues to push all of the investigation and the blame on acting AG Todd Blanch. She said, and I quote Acting AG Blanche was managing the entire investigation, end quote. And what you're going to hear in that interview, and what she's saying here in her words and remarks is that it was Todd Blanche, the current acting AG that was leading the Epson investigation and quite frankly all of the mistakes that we saw. the redactions, not protecting survivors. She continues to push that back onto the acting AG Todd Blanche, who by the way, was Donald Trump's former personal lawyer. I also personally asked the former AG 5 times and 5 different questions about her conversations with President Trump. whether he directed her at any given time on the Epstein files. what he knew, what he asked her to redact or not, and she refused to answer any questions. about President Trump. In fact, she said that she would not speak or respond to any questions that had anything to do with President Trump It's also interesting that sitting next to her is DOJ counsel, somebody that currently works for the Department of Justice who on multiple occasions. stepped in and told the former Attorney General that she was not going to answer those questions, and especially when we ask questions of what the president directed her to do. The DOJ is in there right now,
