Chapter 1: What was the purpose of Pam Bondi's sham hearing?
Democrats just stormed out of a sham briefing that Attorney General Pam Bondi decided that she was going to hold with 24 hours notice regarding the Epstein files. She apparently tried to hold this sham hearing and gave only 24 hours notice to try to get out of her deposition, which is supposed to take place on April 14th.
She's been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee and she's supposed to appear in public in the next few weeks. So she and the MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump tried to coordinate this sham. They said about 24 hours ago that she wanted to talk about the Epstein files Democrats were very suspicious. What are you going to try to talk about in giving us only 24 hours notice?
We have you under subpoena. Is this a way you're going to try to get out of the subpoena? And it became very clear to the Democrats as soon as this sham briefing started that that's what Bondi was going to do. It seemed that she and James Comer. had scripted this whole thing with Donald Trump as they were going to be like, look, I guess she told you everything.
Now, this also comes at the same time where a smoking gun document was just revealed on the House floor by Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman, who's been all over the Epstein file investigation by the Democrats.
Chapter 2: How did Democrats react to the 24-hour notice for the hearing?
And he exposed this email that was previously redacted by Trump's DOJ. It's obvious this was serious obstruction of justice. This was criminal. It appeared what's been going down here, obviously. And what the DOJ redacted were notes. That were sent by Donald Trump's lawyers. Back in 2009. To lawyers for victims and survivors. And the lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein. And Ghislaine Maxwell.
Because on October 14, 2009. Based on this document. That has just been updated. unredacted. It's already been, you know, unredacted, but it was redacted in the documents that were produced publicly. But Congress member Goldman made this public. It's obvious that Donald Trump and Epstein's connections on these documents far more extensive than Donald Trump or the DOJ ever want to say.
I'm going to go over what was in this document in just a moment, but let's just bring this all together. So sham briefing, Called by Pam Bondi, she says House Oversight Committee show up. Now, this follows the House Oversight Committee sending a letter to Bondi saying that she's subpoenaed to show up April 14th. Remember yesterday, I was like, that's kind of surprising.
MAGA Republican James Comer was sending a strongly worded letter to Pam Bondi saying she needs to show up April 14th. That's odd because we know what Trump sycophant James Comer's. But this was all part of their plan because then she said, all right, I'm going to do this briefing. I'm going to show up on the House. And she was going to try to use this in order to not show up for her deposition.
But Democrats saw that coming. Then Democrats just stormed out when they were like, seriously, this is all part of a cover up. We're not going to even being in this room makes you a co-conspirator to crimes because this is part of a cover up of a child sex trafficking ring. Democratic Congress member Robert Garcia posted the following moments ago.
Oversight Democrats just walked out of an outrageous fake hearing where Pam Bondi refused to say she would show up for her under oath deposition. We asked her multiple times and she refused to commit. We won't participate in a fake hearing that's not under oath and not transcribed. The American people deserve transparency and the truth.
We are going to end this White House cover-up, to which the GOP members of the House Oversight Committee put out this message. This was clearly the Democrats' plan all along, to walk out of the briefing the DOJ offered to provide.
Both Attorney General Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch were answering substantive questions, and Attorney General Bondi stated that she would follow the law regarding regarding her subpoena. It's clear Democrats don't want answers or justice for survivors.
They just want theatrics for their latest partisan stunt, to which the House Democrats in the Oversight Committee said, actually, the Attorney General would not commit to following the subpoena that Chairman James Comer sent her two days ago to testify in front of our committee. So no need to participate in a fake hearing that's not transcribed and is not under oath.

Chapter 3: What evidence was revealed about Trump's connections to Epstein?
Trump, I may have been at Epstein's house with my wife. As Jesse Lee explains, this is incredible. Trump administration's redacted, Trump regime redacted his own lawyer debunking two repeated lies that Trump has told his friendship with Epstein. that told about his friendship with Epstein.
I'm sure John Roberts, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, can explain how this was some official action, but these redactions were a deliberate and illegal cover-up. This is the document that was made available publicly. You can see all of the redactions on the DOJ website. Goldman just exposed it moments ago. Now, going back to this sham hearing,
that Bondi wanted to contrive with Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans. One of the things that went down is when you had a Democratic congresswoman, Summer Lee, asking questions and saying, you know, are you going to show up, Bondi, to your deposition, your subpoena? We don't want this. We want you to show up under oath, not a sham hearing.
Then MAGA Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, was like, stop bitching. He said, you need to, why are you bitching? He said, that's the words of Comer at this sham hearing. And she put him on blast. Watch what went down. To our lawful subpoena in a deposition. So instead I asked Chairman Comer if he would compel her. to come to our deposition.
If she did not come, would he force her to, or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena.
Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was bitching, which is again, something that would not be allowed if we were operating under the rules of this committee, because engaging in personalities is actually something that we are not able to do. If C-SPAN and the public were there, I'd imagine that he would not act that way.
Neither here nor there, we expected Asia Bondi to be adversarial. We expected her to be confrontational. And we expected her to not offer us much information. But that's why I introduced impeachment articles, because she has already been obstructing justice. She has already weaponized the DOJ. She has already ended investigations into Trump and his allies.
She has used this role essentially as one to help the president. She does not answer to the president. The DOJ does not have... The right or the privilege? of withholding information from an active investigation, ignoring the laws of our land, which the Epstein Transparency Act is with our subpoena from last July is, and the oversight Dems will continue to press for accountability.
We'll continue to press for justice for survivors while also keeping them centered in this. So at the end of the day, we are still here seeking answers for women, for girls, and for the American public who has demanded justice who have demanded answers to this. And whether or not they will pretend that the documents that they've given us is enough, we already know that they have not complied.

Chapter 4: How did the House Oversight Committee challenge Bondi's actions?
Because she's a liar. Look at how that judiciary committee hearing went. She was spying on members of Congress when they were in the DOJ looking at the documents unredacted. Look at what she's done as far as not putting documents relating to Donald Trump on the website, not releasing them and only doing it when the public noticed and said something about it.
We want her under oath because we don't trust her. We want her under oath because she has shown that she is involved in a coverup. My Republican colleagues under the last administration would not stand for this with Merrick Garland being in front of them, not being under oath. They wouldn't allow that to happen for a second. So we see this for what it is. This is not a briefing.
A briefing is when we sit down and we're getting information from the person giving the briefing. That didn't happen here. She sat down. They started the clock like a hearing. It's a hearing. It's a fake deposition.
where no one can see what's going on, with a zero transcription, where it's not on C-SPAN or anything, and where no one is under oath, and they are allowed to freely lie to members of Congress. More from Democratic Congress member Garcia here. Play this clip. What's important right now for us is that We hold Pam Bondi accountable for the subpoena. She legally has to show up. That's number one.
Everything after that, whether it's contempt, whether it's anything else, all follows. She's got to show up for her deposition. That's all. Thanks, everybody. Also Pablo Monriquez, who leads our Washington DC Bureau at the Midas Touch Network, caught up with AOC in the halls of Congress. And here's what she had to say as well about Donald Trump being compromised by the Epstein files.
Let's play this clip. And on Iran, do you feel that Trump being compromised as part of the Epstein files is putting our troops at risk abroad? A lot of our adversaries are using the Epstein files as sort of to create the narrative around the war. Yeah, you know, I think there was a...
a story recently, if I'm not mistaken, about how they believe that the files themselves were compromised by a foreign actor. And any time you have compromising information that is in the hands of a foreign actor, you have the possibility of manipulation, extortion of public officials. And that is extremely dangerous. And the whole point of having that is to force
public officials to make decisions that are not always in the best interest of the United States so that they can kind of escape blackmail. You know, we need to know more about the details of the situation, but ultimately we have seen U.S. service members lose their lives in addition to many innocent Iranians. And we don't know. And there hasn't been justification as to why.
Do you think that the Epstein files could make Trump a target for blackmail then? We don't know what's been compromised and what hasn't. Pam Bondi needs to release the other three million files. We have to remember that Attorney General Bondi is still illegally withholding it. She's in violation of the law. And from what folks have seen in the Epstein files, Trump is absolutely implicated.

Chapter 5: What were the Democrats' main criticisms of the sham hearing?
So Congressman, do you think that Trump being in the Epstein files is compromising our troops because, you know, obviously our adversaries are using that to sort of cast the narrative about why we're in Iran? Yeah, I mean, it's embarrassing for our country and they're using it against us. The fact that he's been covering this up and been even named himself at different times in the files.
So it's gonna continue to be a problem for us. Thank you, Harrison, appreciate it. And more from Democratic Congress member Frost right here. Play this clip. So, Congressman, are you concerned that Trump being compromised by the Epstein files is having a negative impact on our troops' safety abroad? Our adversaries have been using, obviously, the Epstein files as a means of attack.
A hundred percent. And I think, I'm not sure it's the whole reason, but I definitely think part of the reason we're even in Iran has to do with the fact that he's looking for every single thing he can do to shift away attention from the fact that he's not only in the Epstein files, but he's in it a lot, and he had a very close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
And he's engaged in one of the greatest cover-ups we've ever seen from a US president. So that's why we successfully subpoenaed Pam Bondi, and that's why we're gonna continue to investigate this. Thank you so much. This was an explosive moment indeed in the House. Bondi calls a sham hearing, which she's trying to do in lieu of having to show up under oath.
She and Trump and obviously the MAGA chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, were going to be like, well, she's already told you everything. So why does she need to testify under oath? Democrats caught it in real time, called her out for it when it was obvious they were doing a sham hearing. Democrats walked, Republicans tipped their hands. You heard it all here.
And this follows what we just saw on the House floor where Democratic Congress member Goldman pulls out The email that no one's seen before. And it's Trump's own lawyer saying Epstein was never kicked out. Saying Epstein was never kicked out of Mar-a-Lago. He wasn't even a member. He was a guest. And remember what I've always been saying.
I've always been saying, yeah, because Epstein had Mar-a-Lago brought to his house. He never had to go to Mar-a-Lago. The spa was brought to him. to Epstein's place. Epstein lived like a mile and a half away and the spa went there. That was one of the big things. And Mar-a-Lago was one of the locations where Epstein engaged in the child sex trafficking because he recruited from there.
Like Virginia Giuffre when she was an underage child. Folks, This cover up is getting deeper. Obviously, one of the reasons that Donald Trump is in a never ending war now with Iran. And by the way, we're going to do more reports there because Iran has now struck a main Qatari energy facility. As I said, it was going to do a main energy facility in Riyadh as well.
As I said, they were going to do this thing's escalating and it's beginning now. was caused by the fact that Donald Trump was covering up the Epstein files. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. And thank you so much for watching.
