Transcript: Epstein Survivor Nukes Trump in Moving Speech as WH Panics

Sargent: Right. And just to clarify, the House Rules Committee Republicans moved this bogus thing forward, which would essentially say something like, The Department of Justice will release the files eventually on its own and the House Oversight Committee, which is controlled by Republicans, will just continue with its probe and everything will be just fine. And that would be a way for Republicans to pretend to be for transparency.

McGovern: Yeah, it’s a fake bill, in other words. And there’s no timeline. So it doesn’t say that this has to be done in 15 days or 30 days or 100 days. It doesn’t say it has to be done in six years. Again, it is just cover for Republicans. The House leadership here, again, is afraid to be at odds with Donald Trump. They think they work for him. They don’t think they work for the American people. It’s pathetic and it’s sad. And it’s frustrating because it’s not just on Epstein files, it’s on a thousand other things that they’re doing Trump’s bidding. It really was sad. Every single Republican on the House Rules Committee voted not to release the files. And we brought the rule to the floor today and there was a procedural motion that if I had prevailed, we could have then forced a vote on the Massie-Khanna bill. That went down as well. So the Republican leadership is doing everything they can to block the files from being released and, at the same time, trying to give the Republican members a little bit of cover.

Sargent: So a number of survivors of this Epstein sex ring spoke up on Wednesday at a press conference and it was very strong stuff. Now to back up, Trump has been calling this whole scandal a “hoax” invested by Democrats, which is funny because Trump and MAGA previously treated this as the biggest scandal in U.S. history back when they thought it would only implicate liberals and Democrats. Now one survivor in particular, Haley Robson, took direct aim at Trump’s ongoing hoax claim. Listen to this.
