Obviously we're independent journalists. If there's something in there to leak, of course we wanna leak it. And one thing that people are forgetting is Trump did make a promise that he was going to enable the independent journalists and not only rely on traditional media.

One thing that was mentioned yesterday was that they wanna start getting more conservative, independent journalist resources in the press room. They want Breitbart to be able to have access. They want more than just Fox News and CNN and CNBC to be able to have access. But then it seems like when they give access to the independent journalists, everyone's mad about it.

I think my take on it was that they wanted outrage. I don't think they wanted it directed at us, but they wanted it more so. We requested the Epstein files. They gave us a bunch of baloney in a binder. They expect us to be satisfied with it. So everyone should be very unsatisfied with it. And now it's Kash Patel's job to get the remaining files.

And it wouldn't have happened, by the way, that letter, until the whistleblower from SDNY came out and said, hey, we're actually sleeping on a bunch of files here in the New York Bureau. You know, you should get on it. If that hadn't happened, I don't know where we'd be today. Why the whole... Public thing, I think it was a publicity stunt where it's saying, hey, look, this is what we got.

We don't buy it. We're going to investigate it. And regarding the whole leaving the West Wing with the binders up in the air, I'm going to be very blunt about this. They were not supposed to do that. We were instructed when we got the binders that they want Pam Bondi to have a first say in it. And then we can be the first ones to have the access on it.

there were a bunch of reporters outside of the West Wing waiting for the UK's prime minister to come. They lifted their binders. We were on a, I call it an embargo for three hours. They said, don't post till 3.30. I honored that. A few others honored that. A few others clearly did not. And they kind of ruined it for the whole team and actually made it a lot worse than what it was.
