Congressman Suhas Bermanian

I'm Congressman Suhas Bermanian.

We're here today in New York to talk to Hillary Clinton and tomorrow to talk to former President Bill Clinton.

I want to make clear that there are no Republicans in Ohio to talk to Les Wexner, who bankrolled Epstein's fortune, for the most part, and allowed a lot of his crimes to happen.

Hillary Clinton, who maintains that she doesn't recall meeting Jeffrey Epstein, is here today.

a lot of Republicans here today.

That underscores to me the partisan nature of what some of the Republicans on our committee and in Congress are doing and the way they're approaching this investigation.

And meanwhile, they're not holding the Department of Justice accountable for breaking the law over and over again.

There's two and a half million files that have not been released.

And now we're hearing and seeing evidence of some of those files, including accusations against President Trump.

We know that there are other information in those files that clearly is not about protecting victims.

It's about protecting people who committed crimes.

And so we as Democrats on the Oversight Committee are going to continue to approach this investigation in a nonpartisan way, because all we want is the truth and we want justice for the survivors.

And we want to make sure this never happens again, no matter how rich and powerful the perpetrators are.

Thank you.
