Trump’s new attorney general issues SHOCK announcement | Another Day
Todd Blanche claims the DOJ has released. all of the Epstein files. So, either. he's lying or someone accidentally. printed 3 million extra documents. This. is just another day. The past few weeks have been disastrous. for the president. He started wars with. Iran, the Pope, and even with his own. wife over the Epstein files. So, naturally, today Trump sent out one of. his minions to do some damage control. As far as her her call to Congress, it's. exactly the same thing that we have been. saying for the past year, which is the.
following. If there is a victim that has. evidence against anybody, they should. absolutely report it to the FBI and we. will take it seriously, no matter what. >> No matter what. I guess since Pam Bondi. testified before Congress a few weeks. ago, they finally got the phones back up. and running. Because back then, a. handful of people had the darndest time. getting through to the DOJ. >> How many of you have reached out either. individually or through a lawyer or. representative to offer to provide.
testimony and evidence? All of them. And of those you of you all of you who. have reached out, how many of you were. denied or ignored by the Department of. Justice? All of them. Look at that. Not only did. the phones not work at the DOJ, Pam. Bondi's neck was apparently broken, too, because she couldn't even turn it around. enough to acknowledge the victims. Hopefully, she's getting that looked at. with all the free time that she has now. As of this moment, there are still 3.
million documents in the Epstein files, out of 6 million, by the way, that have. yet to be released. And that is after. the DOJ missed the legal deadline of. producing all of them by December 19th. And look, I want to give them some grace. here. I can't imagine the pressure that. they were under doing their last-minute. Christmas redacting. But maybe there's. another explanation here that I'm just. not seeing. We reviewed six million. pieces of paper. What we released were. anything associated with the Epstein. files. So, there we are not sitting on a. single piece of paper. Nothing that.
should be released. If we find something. else tomorrow, we'll release it. I don't. anticipate we we will. So, the the. misguided assumption that there is more. to be released is because we reviewed. millions and millions of pages within. the department, millions of which had. nothing to do with Epstein. >> If I could just stop you right there, the misguided assumption that there's. more to be released is not based on the. amount of documents you reviewed. I'd. say it's a pretty accurately guided. assumption based on everything this. administration and almost every member.
of the GOP has done up until this point. Like, my apologies if you feel like. trust has been eroded after the. president appointed his own criminal. defense lawyer to be his attorney. general. If that same president, who's. mentioned in the files 38,000 times, called the Epstein files a hoax. After. the DOJ redacted the names of. co-conspirators while exposing the names. of the victims. After Mike Johnson. delayed swearing in a member of Congress. to delay a vote on the discharge. petition to release the files. After. allowing former Attorney General Pam.
Bondi to ignore a subpoena to give a. deposition under oath. And after doing. this. Colorado Congresswoman Lauren. Boebert was the target of an apparent. pressure campaign by Trump to keep the. Epstein file secret. The New York Times. and CNN report that the Trump White. House attempted to convince Boebert, a. strong Republican ally of the president, to take her name off a congressional. action that would force the release of. the Epstein files. Even going so far as. to call her to a meeting in the highly. secure White House Situation Room with.
the FBI director and the Attorney. General. Kind of hard to deny that. you're waging war against releasing the. Epstein files when you bring a member of. Congress to the war room. But not only. is Todd Blanche here to tell the victims. that he supports them 100%, he also. wants members of Congress to know that. his door. always open. >> What we've done with Congress is we have. we we by law we had to make certain. redactions, by law, including of victims. and of PI information. But we said to. Congress, any congressman can come in.
and spend as much time as they want. looking at everything unredacted. And if. you think we should be doing something, congressman or congresswoman, let us. know and we will we will do it. Wow. I'll tell you who'd love to hear this. news is Republican lawmaker Thomas. Massie. He's been one of the most vocal. proponents of releasing the Epstein. files, and until Todd Blanche's. incredibly welcoming and accommodating. statements from today, his calls to. action have been met with let's call it. a less welcoming tone. And now, Massie,
He's the worst. We got to get rid of. this loser. Guys like Massie, who's a. real lowlife, whose polls are down to. about 9% by the way in the great state. of Kentucky. If you look at Kentucky, uh Kentucky is such a. great place, but I don't know. They've. got they've got a couple of people in. there that are very strange in terms of. leadership, but Massie is a loser. Gee, with complimentary rhetoric like that, I. can't imagine why more members of. Congress aren't coming forward. It is bananas for Donald Trump's. Attorney General to go on TV and claim.
that this president has nothing to hide. From the moment Trump took office, all. he's done is pretend that this man was. just some dude he ran into by the hors. d'oeuvres table. I mean, sure, Donald. Trump's entire brand is being creepy. with women. Sorry, Swalwell, you're. disgusting and apparently guilty of. trademark infringement, but that doesn't. mean these two were buddies. And if you. were to dare insinuate that, well, you'd. better lawyer up. >> A federal judge has now dismissed a. lawsuit brought by President Trump.
against the Wall Street Journal. This. was over, you might remember, the. newspaper's reporting on Jeffrey Epstein. and what became known as his birth date. book. Let's go over to CNN's chief media. analyst Brian Stelter, who's got the. details coming in. Brian, what are you. learning about this? Apologies for catching me in the car. I. pulled over to write this story, but. yes, oh man. Doesn't it suck when you. get busted and you have to lie on your. work Zoom? I'm in my car and I pulled over to write. this story. Right now, there are.
thousands of 20-somethings at Coachella. trying to pull off the exact same move. Sorry for all the movement. I'm I'm. crowd surfing to get a better view of. our company's fiscal opportunities. They. look great and I'm simply ecstatic. Also, I'm on ecstasy. But hey, as far as CNN contributors. getting caught on camera in an. embarrassing situation goes, I'd say Brian Stelter got off pretty. easy. But car-based journalism aside, this is another huge loss for Trump and. another huge loss for Todd Blanche's.
argument that this president is a man of. honesty and integrity. The reality is. every interview Todd Blanche gives is. only further proof that when it comes to. the Epstein files, the cover-up. continues. Donald Trump somehow assumed. that by firing Pam Bondi and putting. Todd Blanche in her place, all of his. issues with Epstein would magically. disappear. And that's a pretty terrible. diagnosis of the problem, especially. coming from a doctor. But the reason the Epstein files. continue to haunt Donald Trump and his. entire administration is because.
everyone can see that with this new. Attorney General, it's just the same. product in different packaging. A person. running the Department of Justice who. actually has no interest in. administering justice. They are simply. there to act on behalf of who else but. Donald Trump. Not that they'd ever make. that obvious. And so, I think that to. the extent that the Epstein files was a. part of the of the past year of this. Justice Department, it will should not. be a part of anything going forward. When Trump put Todd Blanche in, he was. assigned one job, closing the book on. Epstein. And he's been pretty successful.
until one lady decided to grab that book. off the shelf. >> We still must work openly and. transparently to uncover the truth. I. got to say, it is still hilarious that. Donald Trump had no idea his wife was. going to give this speech. >> I just got off a very quick call before. we went to air with President Trump, who. said he was in the middle of a war. meeting and that he couldn't talk for. very long and had to go, but that. actually he had no prior knowledge to. the topic that Melania Trump, his wife, was going to be touching upon today.
>> Yes, he was in a war meeting and. definitely not sitting at his desk. seeing what an AI version of him in the. Sistine Chapel would look like. Look, if. Donald Trump really, truly wanted this. Epstein issue to be over with, he could. make it happen tomorrow with one single. cabinet appointment, replacing his. interim Attorney General with his new. one. And it can still be a Republican. Put in Thomas Massie. Can you even. imagine a world where we actually. believe the Attorney General of the. United States is not merely a puppet of. the president? Where America's chief law.
enforcement officer is more focused on. providing justice to rape victims than. to running cover for the president's. billionaire friends? The fact that this. mere suggestion is comically outlandish. should tell you everything you need to. know in terms of where we currently. stand in our democracy. For as long as. Todd Blanche remains Donald Trump's. Attorney General, he knows he has one. singular mission, making the Epstein. story go away. Which is why if it's up. to him, he won't release any more files, he won't prosecute any co-conspirators, and he won't meet with any more victims.
Because Todd Blanche has decided he'd. rather protect the perpetrators than the. victims. No matter what. Exactly. Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After, How to Wield Power. in a Post-Trump World. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and, more importantly, how we.
should finally wield power if we're. lucky enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo.
