Rep. Jamie Raskin

So my final question is, do you believe that you made any mistakes?

Do you have any regrets as to how you conducted this investigation?

You also sought orders from judges, making it so those who were having their records seized would not know about it.

Similarly, you issued a gag order against President Trump that the D.C.

Circuit Court of Appeals vacated as overbroad.

Is that correct?

They narrowed the order because it was overbroad.

In addition to that, you sought an early trial date that the district court rejected.

And when you presented your prosecution memo to Attorney General Garland...

It's been reported that he was visibly unimpressed and expressed First Amendment concerns.

So Mr. Smith, looking at the record, I see that you were reversed and rebuked by the Department of Justice itself, by the Attorney General, by the Solicitor General, by multiple district court justices.

judges by the Court of Appeals and by the U.S.

Supreme Court itself.

So my final question is, do you believe that you made any mistakes?

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.
