And as you and Ben Rhodes discussed, I mean, they're nowhere near any kind of ballistic missile that can reach the United States.

So this was all a fabrication by the President of the United States.

to try to justify his actions while Americans are hurting here at home.

We've lost 13 of our service members, hundreds wounded.

As you discussed, thousands of civilians killed in the region.

And we're paying $2 billion a day, we, the American taxpayers, while gas prices are going up.

And now Donald Trump says, well...

You know, we've got to cut back on other investments that are important to the American people.

This war should never have started.

We should end it now.

Donald Trump is talking about asking for another $200 billion.

And I can tell you, Ali, I won't vote for one more dime for this illegal war of choice.

You led people to believe that you had cut off all contact with Jeffrey Epstein.

after the 2005 encounter you and your wife had in his apartment.

But as I'm sure you know, the Epstein files show a very different record of interaction.

Why do the Epstein files show you coordinating a meeting and planning a visit with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island in December 2012?

Secretary Letnick, I think you understand the root of concern here.

It's the way you described very emphatically your first encounter with him in his apartment

said you were disgusted, would never have any contact with him again.

Did you, in fact, make the visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island?
