I don't know.

I don't really understand the question.

You mean, who did I update?

Look, my team has certain communications with the White House.

Let me just be clear.

They had nothing to do with this review.

They had no oversight over this review.

They did not tell this department how to do our review, what to look for, what to redact, what to not redact.

um they they absolutely knew that we were i was doing this press conference today and that we're releasing the materials today um but but there's not there's no oversight by the white house into the process that we've undertaken over the past 60 days and here's where lutnik says that the number of responsive documents was only 3 million and not 6 million let's play this clip

We erred on the side of overcollection of materials from various sources to best ensure maximum transparency and compliance, which necessarily means that the number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected.

That's why I mentioned a moment ago we're releasing more than 3 million pages today and not the 6 million pages that we collected.

I mean, yes, I can assure that we complied with the statute, we complied with the act, and there is no, we did not protect President Trump, we didn't protect or not protect anybody.

I mean, I think that we, that there's a hunger or a thirst for information that I do not think will be satisfied by the review of these documents.

And there's nothing I can do about that.

But President Trump, of all the people in Washington DC and around this country that have said for years the same consistent message about Jeffrey Epstein is President Trump.

And so there's not been a change of course or anything.

And certainly his direction to the American people and the Department of Justice, sorry, his direction to the Department of Justice was to be as transparent, release the files, be as transparent as we can.

And that's exactly what we did.

The 2,000 videos and 180,000 images are not all videos and images taken by Mr. Epstein or someone around him.

They include large quantities of commercial pornography and images that were seized from Epstein's devices
