BREAKING: BOMBSHELL news on Epstein’s RECRUITERS

I'm joined by the ranking member of the. House Oversight Committee, Robert. Garcia. Congressman, thanks for joining. me. >> Sure thing. >> So, you've had the opportunity to review. the unredacted or largely unredacted. Epstein files, at least more unredacted. than we've seen thus far. You have some. news to offer here in terms of what you. saw. Can you explain what that is? >> Yeah, I mean, look, I think um we we've. got a lot of great information coming. in. And I think one of the things that I. saw today and we were able to acquire is. we now have a a much better. understanding of who the recruiters were. that were working for Epstein that.

actually worked to recruit and traffic. uh the women uh and girls. uh there is a. list of of names uh of folks that were. doing that work for Epstein which we. didn't have a complete list before and. we think that we've been able to acquire. through these files a pretty good. significant uh group of them and which. now we have of course um information. that we're going to seek out and try to. find um and really understand what they. know who they were working for and how. they got all their money and so that was. a pretty significant find for us today.

The the other thing that was really um. interesting is we have this interview le. next week with uh Les Wexter who. basically provided Jeffrey Epstein with. um significant amounts of money. Almost. all the money that he received early on. was from this billionaire who of course. ran Victoria's Secret and other things. Learned an enormous amount today about. their relationship which was quite. bizarre. There's a lot of accusations. about their relationship and um how. close they were and what actually Wexner. was paying for and how Epstein got his.

money. And so I think that's something. that when we depose Wexter next week, he's going to be asked some very direct. questions. about his relationship with Epstein, what he paid for, and why he gave. Epstein that money. Uh, and so I think. that's going to be pretty significant. and something that we learned a lot. about today and just our review of those. files today. Now, in terms of these rec. recruiters, because we've not heard. anything in the news about this thus. far, this is the uh this is new now as. the result of of what you've seen um in. your in your looking over of these.

files. Were those how expansive was this. network of recruiters and were they. recruiting wittingly or unwittingly? >> So, I think that's something that we're. discovering. So I think what's what's. happened is there is now clearly there. was a group of recruiters. Um many were women. Uh some were also. it's important to note were actually. had been victimized themselves and then. became uh recruiters for Epstein. So.

they were still living through trauma. and and still experiencing that kind of. terror. Um others were working directly. for Epstein and causing massive harm and. recruiting uh and searching and. trafficking uh and in some cases. coercing uh these women and these girls. and some some of this was happening at. Mara Lago were happening through beauty. pageantss were happening from bringing. women over from from Europe and so there. was a there's a whole network of. recruiters we have not seen a complete.

list or at least a list that we could. verify uh until uh the last day or two. And so now that we have that list, we. have a lot of questions and a lot of. leads cuz they they know a lot of. information. So that's going to be. important for us for this investigation. >> Are you able to confirm if there was. even one recruiter who was doing so. wittingly? >> I think that, you know, I don't want to. get ahead of the investigation, but I. think it's I think the answer to that is. clearly yes. >> Okay. So then if the answer is yes to.

that question, then how could Cash. Mattel and Todd Blanch have both come. out previously and said that there were. no other co-conspirators involved in all. of this if at the DOJ's disposal it had. access to information that shows that. clearly there were there were other. people involved in this. >> I mean, first and and there there's. other people involved with this even. just outside of those that were doing. the the recruiting, right? I mean, that's just a bold-faced lie. I mean. there are other folks and I separate of.

that I saw other names in um today and. and others have seen in the last few. days of other wealthy powerful men that. we were investigating um that clearly uh. there that leads us to ask questions is. clearly that they should be looked at. for possible prosecution and in addition. to that what I'm most concerned about is. not what we have access to but what we. don't have access to. half of the files, 50% of them, we don't have uh and and.

and what we do have are still overly. redacted. So even the files that have. been um unredacted contain enormous. redactions. So it's it's really what we. haven't seen yet [clears throat] that we. know that the some of the most damning, salacious, and and and dangerous. information to people in power are is. the information that we have yet to see, that we have yet to have access to. And. so, look, Cash Patel is lying from what. we know so far. Clearly, there is um. there's a lot to go after. Those that.

engage in the in the in the recruitment. and trafficking and in the grooming of. of girls and women need to be held. accountable. And we have a lot of. questions there. >> Is there any commitment by this DOJ to. continue releasing the files? Because. from the statements that we've heard, especially from Todd Blanch, it seems. like this is it. Like, this is the best. you're going to get. Yeah, there's three. million files that haven't been revealed. yet, but but you know, make do with what. you've got. >> No, there's no commitment. In fact, they've said that it's that they're. done, which is just BS. I mean, there's.

there's there's no way the American. public aren't done till we get the. truth. We're not done. There's no. scenario we're going to sit here and. say, "Oh, you just gave us 50% of the. files, and of course, we know that 50%. of them you have kept to yourself, right? There's no there's just no way. that we're done." And in fact, we're. going to continue to push while we're in. the minority and we have limited ability. of courts to subpoena and and get. information. But if it means we have to. wait till November, I I I don't want to.

do that. But when we win back this this. majority and we get the ability to. actually get these documents unredacted, we're going to do so. We're going to get. closure for the victims that happens now. or happens in the future. The DOJ should. understand that the survivors deserve it. right now. We shouldn't wait. How is it going to be that even if. Democrats retake the majority, have. subpoena power, that they can compel the. DOJ to even hand over documents, recognizing that the authority who would. ultimately be be in charge of enforcing.

this would be the DOJ itself? >> I think we'd be able to craft uh. subpoenas in a way that would ensure we. got the documents. And I think that, you. know, the the DOJ is producing. information and then those that should. be that are are approving the the the. the way it's being put out and released. essentially the House Republican. majority. I mean, uh, James Comr on many. occasions will uh allow, for example, former FBI and DOJ officials to not get. deposed. He'll put a subpoena out and.

then say, "Oh, you can just submit a a. written statement saying you don't know. anything." That's not enough. >> Yeah. I I we want those people in front. of the of the committee. We want them in. front of oversight to move and ask them. questions to depose them. So, I think. the the the power of of the majority and. the ability to investigate fully is is. is serious. And so, there will be a lot. we'll be able to do. Um but also, it's. going to mean continuing to pushing. getting the rest of these files from the. Department of Justice. Is there a world. where any Department of Justice. officials up to and including the.

attorney general control their personal. legal liability by continuing to. suppress files that the law mandates. have to be released? Or or um you know. if if we get to a point where Democrats. are in the majority and they issue these. subpoenas and the subpoenas are are. flouted that you know in the aftermath. of all of this when she's no longer in. charge of the DOJ when this. administration's out of office that they. can shoulder personal legal liability. >> I mean yes. I I mean that's absolutely I. mean one PM Bondi right now should be. held in contempt. She should not be the. attorney general. Of course she should.

be removed or resigned and and folks. understand this especially at the DOJ. that anyone can be prosecuted for a. cover up as well. >> Yeah. >> And so I think you know I think folks. are on notice. I think they understand. that they don't want to be involved in. defying Congress or covering up an. investigation or or or or facts. And so. we're going to be very serious and and I. hope that that they understand that. we're gonna be very serious in that. work. And I think there I've mentioned. this before there's a lot of FBI agents. and DOJ agents that are good civil.

servants that have seen a lot of. information and uh you know when when. they are ready and when they feel that. they have protection. Um a lot of them. want to want to talk and they want to be. honest. Right now there's Gondi has. created a culture of fear and of. retribution. And so we've got to be very. thoughtful and careful about um how we. put out some of that information. >> Last question here. One of those uh uh. uh law enforcement officials uh who's. since been fired was Moren Comey, who. was actually in charge of the whole. investigation uh uh into the prosecution.

of Gain Maxwell. and she was fired just. before Todd Blanch went for his his, you. know, undercover visit with uh with. Glenn Maxwell for two days where she was. subsequently rewarded with a with a move. from her regular prison that she was in. in Florida to a low security prison in. Texas. And so is there going to be an. opportunity for for Democrats on uh on. the oversight committee, for example, to. call Moren Comey in to testify? And how. will you do that recognizing that the.

DOJ will try to shield her testimony by. claiming that you know any information. she tries to give is privileged? >> Uh yeah, I mean the the answer is yes. We will be able to um put forward some. of these subpoenas. Uh we'll definitely. fight the DOJ on some of those issues. Look, I think that um the DOJ is making. a lot of claims. Some of these some some. of their their their claims or their. their filings around privilege. I think. we're going to have to challenge in. certain unique ways, including in the. courts. Yeah. And so I think at the end. of the day, we're going to compel folks. that we subpoena to testify in front of. the Congress, and that includes DOJ.

officials. >> All right. Well, we will leave it there. Uh thank you as always for the work that. you're doing there, and thanks for. taking the time today. >> Thanks, Brian. [music].
