Donald Trump thinks it's over.

He doesn't really understand the breadth of what we're doing here.

There's so much new information about Mar-a-Lago, what Mar-a-Lago, what their role was in the trafficking of girls.

There's so much happening.

And so all that will come out, the truth will come out, and we're just working hard to make sure that people understand that we want justice for the survivors.

I think that the emails today show clearly that there is a relationship between Donald Trump and Epstein.

As far as what Donald Trump knew, what he participated in, I think are real questions.

And I think the thing on everyone's mind

certainly those of us on the committee, is why the cover-up?

Why won't the White House release the full Epstein files?

I want to remind our Republican colleagues that crime in DC over the last few years has actually been going down.

And quite frankly, the idea that we are now going to put middle schoolers in prison, this should be called the Middle Schoolers for Prison Act, is inhumane and shameful.

We can all agree that

crime should be taken on, that D.C.

and other cities we want to make safer.

But this idea that we're going to penalize children in middle school at the age of 14 and put them in prison is irresponsible and, quite frankly, it's un-American.

I want to remind my colleagues that

that at this moment, what we're doing right now is stripping 700,000 residents who have come together in DC to create laws, to bring community together, to fight for statehood and representation.

We're gonna strip them from their ability to manage their own city.

These efforts do nothing to reduce crime or improve public safety.
