I just want to be very clear that

We continue to be incredibly disappointed of the decision to not have this interview videotaped and then released to the American public.

The second thing we asked Chairman Comer is to ensure that this interview is under oath.

We understand the Attorney General is going to be there answering questions from Congress

but it should have been under oath and it should be videotaped.

We obviously have a lot of questions as it relates to why only 50% of the files have been released, why many of the survivors, they were literally put in danger by the way the files were released,

that private information should never have been released, and of course, why this continues to be some type of cover-up.

And so those are our questions.

There's many questions.

We'll be here for the next few hours.

It's really important that we get to the truth and that the Attorney General answers the questions truthfully.

And we'll continue to push, of course, for a videotape release transcript for everybody else.

It's also interesting that sitting next to her is DOJ counsel, somebody that currently works for the Department of Justice, who on multiple occasions stepped in and told the former attorney general that she was not going to answer those questions, especially when we ask questions of what the president directed her to do.

And so the DOJ is in there right now stopping questions

about President Trump and about what happened in the release of these files and why so many survivors were doxxed and their information, of course, released to the public.

And let me also just say, finally, before I turn this over to Liz, to Ms.

Stein here, we asked questions about Ghislaine Maxwell and the transfer.

And again, she referred those questions to Todd Blanch and the Bureau of Prisons.

So let's be clear, we have many questions for Mr. Blanch and for the Bureau of Prisons that yet Republicans are refusing to ask.

Why was she transferred to a less secure facility?
