Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump just had a disastrous landing in Scotland, where he had a complete meltdown on live TV during a press conference. He's there in Scotland, by the way, to promote one of his new golf courses, a vanity project, costing the United States taxpayers and Scotland taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. But Donald Trump was grilled on the tarmac and he had a complete meltdown. You can see him panic here. He was asked, Were you ever briefed that your name is in the Epstein files? Donald Trump just blatantly lies. We know his name is in the Epstein files. Watch what he says.
Unknown 0:40
No, I was never never bred on the case. Did you ask Hal are you hoping Todd Blanch interviewing July Maxwell?
Ben Meiselas 0:47
Now, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department told Donald Trump in May that his name is among the many in the Epstein files, based on the efforts and extent to which Donald Trump is lying so blatantly, and must be incredibly damning what is in those files. And frankly, what's already been released is incredibly damning based on the documents provided in prior cases to the public. Donald Trump Trump is next asked, what are you hoping that your deputy attorney general, your number two at the Department of Justice, what are you hoping he gets out of this meeting with sex trafficker Geelane Maxwell? A felon, a sex trafficker, a known liar? What do you want him to get out of it? Watch what Donald Trump says here, play this clip.
Unknown 1:33
Hot land. What do you think that they get out of that?
Donald Trump 1:37
I really have no uh Really nothing to say about it. Uh she is uh being talked to by a very smart man, by a very good man, Todd Blanche. And uh I don't know anything about the conversation. I haven't really been following it. Uh a lot of people are asking me about pardons. Obviously, this is no time to be talking about pardons. But a lot of people have asked about pardon. Uh this is just not a time to be talking about pardons. Uh Todd will come back with whatever he's got. Uh you make it a very big thing over something that's not a big thing. You should be talking about if you're gonna talk about that, talk about Clinton, talk about the former president of Harvard, talk about all of uh his friends, talk about the hedge fund guys that were with him all the time.
Donald Trump 2:25
Don't talk about Trump. Uh what you should be talking about is the fact that we have the greatest six months in the history of a presidency, according to a lot of people.

How did Trump respond when asked if he was briefed about his name appearing in the Epstein files?

Donald Trump 2:36
And uh we had an amazing six months and this is sort of an example of it. Now we're meeting with the European Union. Uh having uh we're also meeting with, as you know, the head of uh UK.
Ben Meiselas 2:50
Oh, you want him to get at it that she speaks about uh Clinton and she speaks about hedge fund people, but doesn't talk about Trump? That sounds like a damning, a damning admission right there indeed. Donald Trump then says the following regarding the Epstein files. He goes, You know what? Why are you all focused on this? He goes, I'm focused on the business of the American people. I don't deal in conspiracy theories. Literally, Donald, your entire brand is conspiracy theories. That's all you do. Folks, whatever is in those files must be frickin' nuclear. Here, play this clip. We make it
Unknown 3:30
Did you ask House Republican leaders to not vote on the resolution about the I was never
Donald Trump 3:36
I was never involved in that. I'm focused on making deals. I'm not focused on conspiracy theories that you are. I mean I watch you people, it's it's so sad. You oughta talk about the success of our country instead of this nonsense you to talk about over and over again.
Ben Meiselas 3:53
Then Donald Trump sends his message to Europe, right? He's in Scotland. So what is Donald Trump saying to Europe on behalf of the American people? He goes, Stop your windmills. Rio, ring, because he is a freaking weirdo. Okay. He is a loser who hates science. By the way, Scotland has its energy needs met and exceeded based on. It's energy, unlike places in the United States who have defective energy grids. But anyway, here's what Donald Trump says. Let's play it.
Donald Trump 4:26
Well I say thing I say two things to Europe.
