Here's Melania Trump at the White House talking about the Epstein files.

And when you remember what the president said, when you give all the files out there, the innocent people are going to be hurt.

And we've seen that to some degree.

How would you answer those three questions?

No, the First Lady does not check with me before she speaks to the American people, and I wouldn't expect her to.

But what she said rings true to me.

And what I mean by that is there have been tons of false narratives around her and her relationship or lack thereof with Epstein.

And so I get her frustration and complaints, and I readily agree with it.

As far as 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.

And so her call to Congress to have witnesses come forward and testify is not inconsistent with what the Department of Justice and President Trump, frankly, has been saying for many years.

And so I know that...

Now, folks, this is a concerted effort by MAGA and MAGA Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

For example, Byron Donald said the following.

He's on the Oversight Committee.

He's running for governor of Florida as a MAGA Republican.

Play this clip.

Congressman, we're almost- Let's not forget during his opening press conference as acting attorney general, here's what Todd Blanch had to say.

so i look we as everybody knows the attorney general and i went to the house oversight a few weeks ago we answered every single question asked for a couple hours um what happens now that she's the the former attorney general and there's the subpoena out there is is i think i'll leave to to chairman colmer and others to to figure out i don't i don't have an answer to that
