And a strange thing happened.
I had intended to motivate my colleagues and I was brought to tears by their stories and became doubly motivated to get this done because at that point, it became more about justice for them than even before.
And somebody may say, well, that sounds pretty cold.
You mean you weren't doing it for them to start with?
Well, I was doing it to uncover the creeps, right?

But once I met the survivors, it became even more personal to get justice for them.
Well, of course, it's less academic and more real.
So I actually had at least a dozen co-sponsors on my Epstein Files Transparency Act.
And I thought, well, I'll get a dozen, by the way, dozen Republican co-sponsors.
I thought, well, this will be easy.
I've already got a dozen who will sign the discharge petition.

But in this instance, I'm compelled to do this.
And I said, and by the way, I made a mistake.
I got co-sponsors on this bill.
