Do you really want me to smile right now?

All right.

We are going to take a quick break.

And when we get back, more on what Republicans were hoping to get out of these files.

And we're back.

We've been talking about the Justice Department's recent release of more than three million pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

And we talked before about how there was bipartisan support for getting these files released, how President Trump had campaigned on releasing these files.

There had also been a lot of anticipation that these files might prove that former President Bill Clinton had done something wrong.

Like Trump, he also had a friendship of some kind with Epstein.

Was there anything new about him in these files?

And there is an agreement to have them come testify.

They agreed to that in negotiations with Republicans.

You know, if nothing else, it would seem that these files have confirmed that there are powerful and wealthy people playing by different rules than the rest of us.

And I think distrust in power is one of the major reasons why we are where we are today in American politics.

Domenico, there was so much pressure that these files would amount to something.

Now that they're released, why doesn't it feel like there's closure?

Stephen, this certainly raises the question of whether the victims have or will get justice.

Yeah, they tapped into the political system to try to get some modicum of justice.

And instead, they're kind of back where they were, except maybe even more exposed.

All right.
