Before you joined the FBI, you railed against it for covering up Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring.
Let me refresh your memory with this clip.
So you finished that December 2023 interview with a challenge to the FBI and harsh words for Republicans in Congress for not getting the Epstein files out to the public.
You can see this clip.
Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are, you said.
You emphasized that the president and FBI director each had complete authority to release Epstein's client list.
You said Epstein's black book is under the, quote, direct control of the director of the FBI.
Look at this clip.
All right.
So you were sworn in as director more than 200 days ago.
Now the black book is under your direct control.
So why haven't you released the names of Epstein's co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking of young women and girls?
Oh, no, you're talking about what the journalist got five years ago?
No, that's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about what you were talking about there, the Black Book under the direct control of the FBI director.
