In this episode we're going to pick up where we left off with the Hillary Clinton transcript from her trip to Congress. Question, thank you Madam Secretary. I know that a couple of the minority members have just a couple questions as part of this hour as well. And so I have a few and then I'll turn it over to a couple of the minority members as well. You can hear me okay from there? Answer? Yes, I can, I can, but it would help if the minority members would move across.

2:05Question? Yeah, actually they're going to sit right across. Clinton? Okay, perfect, perfect, thank you. Question great, thank you. I just want to begin by asking you a few questions which I believe you've already clarified in your opening statement. But just to be very clear on the record one more time as best as you can recall, you've never met Jeffrey Epstein. Answer? That's true, that's correct. Question as best as you can recall. And you've said this. You've never went to the island. Answer? Never went to the island. Question? You never flew with them on a plane. Answer? Never flew with them on a plane. Question? And you were never aware of his horrific crimes prior to those becoming public knowledge is that correct? Answer? That is correct. Question? Okay, thank you. I also wanted to just know one of the questions that we've been receiving a lot has been speculation amongst the public that Jeffrey Epstein was somehow affiliated with foreign intelligence agencies or other intelligence services. And I know that we have received numerous questions of that type. Now obviously you served as Secretary of State. Thank you for your service.

3:07In your role as Secretary of State, were you ever made aware of Jeffrey Epstein having any type of relationship with foreign intelligence agencies? Obviously, of course, of a foreign country? Answer? I was not. And ranking member Garcia, I'm aware of the speculation around this. And that comes from the files being released in questions being raised. And I do think that is a fruitful area for the committee to investigate. Question? No, I appreciate that because I'll say of the type of questions that we're receiving, the kind of conversations around whether Jeffrey Epstein at ties to a foreign intelligence or was working with foreign governments continues to come up. And so obviously a Secretary of State, that would be something I would imagine you may or may not have information for. So I appreciate the response. Question? Madam Secretary, just lastly, I also want to thank you for your testimony and broadly speaking, you've probably been following just recently and this week, and we've seen. And there's been reports that numerous files are missing from the group of files that have been released.

4:08For the record, only about approximately 50% of the total files have likely been released. And other percentages have been withheld for whatever reason, we're not really sure of, and don't really understand. It's also been reported by numerous outlets this week that the FBI has removed files that are supposed to be made available to Congress that include serious allegations of alleged abuse by President Trump, sexual abuse of a minor. Now, these are allegations that we know have been corroborated in other ways, and the media have reported on these, but these files themselves have been removed. Now, we view this as a very serious matter. I've personally looked for these files in the archive manifest that lists which files should be placed there. Those files are no longer there, and we have been calling on the DOJ and the Attorney General to release all the files. I'm wondering if in your experience, obviously in the US Senate, as Secretary of State, if you've entered responses to the behavior of the DOJ and their withholding of critical information and the apparent removal of files,

5:11that could suggest serious crimes by folks in the administration. Answer, Congressman, I appreciate you're raising this issue, and I appreciated the statement that you put out when this became public knowledge, thanks to investigative reporting which revealed it. And I think that this behavior by the Justice Department deserves the most thorough investigation that Congress could carry out. As I understand the sequence of events, the Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department, as well as the Epstein of State, as well as law enforcement officials from prior administrations, as well as my husband and me. The Justice Department refused to comply, which is what led to the passage by Congress of the Transparency Act, which was then signed into law, and I think from the very beginning, the behavior of the Attorney General and her staff, has demonstrated either a gross incompetence, which has bothersome, or the keepers of information, and should be evaluated for law enforcement purposes, or a clear cover-up, because they're protecting the President and others.

6:11Either one of those should be the focus of this Committee to try to get to the bottom. If they're incompetent and they're incapable of complying with the law that Congress passed, we need to know, because they are falling down on the job. They have an FBI director who is more interested in drinking beer in a hockey dressing room after our team won the Olympics, rather than being responsive and complying with the law, as it's been promulgated. So I don't think it's unfair to say that given the sequencing of events, starting with what the way President Trump made the release of the files a key element of his 2024 campaign, the promise that he, and then his Attorney General, made that all files would be released, then a walking back of that, as they began to look at the files. And ignoring of what they promised, including that they had a client list on the desk of the Attorney General, reasonable people would have to assume that they're engaged in a massive cover-up, which is infuriating, as an American, as a citizen. All of us should be regardless of party, wondering what they're hiding.

7:12And that's why I said my opening statement, the President of the United States is not above the law. And should be in a setting like this, answering questions under oath, as should others who are prominently featured in the files, and especially the group that is featured after 2008, because prior to 2008, when Jeffrey Epstein pled guilty to water down charges that Alex Acosta negotiated, and then was rewarded for it, in the first Trump administration, with the Cabinet position, there are so many unanswered questions. And I looked at the transcript of Alex Acosta's testimony that was taken before this committee, and I don't think any Republican members asked him a question. So you have to conclude that there's something rotten in the state of Denmark, or clearly the Justice Department, starting in the White House, and at the top of the Attorney General. And this latest example of the missing files about the allegations, and they are absolutely nothing more than allegations, but the FBI interview that witnessed four times. You don't interview a non credible witness four times, you don't put it into FBI reporting, protecting this source, if you think there's nothing to it.

8:19So of course, I would like to know, like every other American deserves to know what's in those files, and who's going to hold people accountable, because the Justice Department seems to be either unwilling or incapable of doing it.

You know when people try on new food, and suddenly it's like, wait. That's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try cutie mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake, because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cutie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Examages, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it.

9:22Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're out of the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. Cutie, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

Question. Thank you, Madam Secretary. Let me also just add one thing. You've probably also read reporting that Secretary Lutnik was pretty open in an interview about not having spoken to Epstein or interacted with him after 2005. And then we go on to learn that Secretary Lutnik not only went to the island, there were visits. They went into possible business together, communicated with his wife. So there were numerous interactions that happened after that interview. We believe that Secretary Lutnik should be in front of this committee answering questions, especially when he's choosing to essentially lie about his interactions with Mr. Epstein. Would you agree Secretary Lutnik should come and testify? Answer. I think everyone that the committee sees playing a prominent role in the file should be deposed. That's your job. Your job is to try and get to the truth as best as you can determine it.

11:23And that should be the guiding principle. It seems to me as to who you ask to come before you. Question. Thank you. Next person asking questions. Another congressman on named question. Hello. Thank you Secretary for being here today. I'm going to ask you a few questions that might be a little redundant answer. That's okay. Question. But just for the record. So I'm correct that you did not know at any point before Jeffrey Epstein's crimes became public that Epstein committed or facilitated sexual abuse of minors and young women answer. That is correct. Question and prior to Epstein's crimes becoming public were you ever warned not to associate with them answer not that I recall. Question and you did not know at any point before Maxwell's crimes became public that she committed or facilitated sexual abuse of minors or young women answer. That is correct. Question. And did anyone ever raise concerns to you about Ms. Maxwell or warn you not to associate with her at any point answer not that I recall. Question. Thank you. And you served as first lady and you as senator and secretary of state. And so you met a lot of other heads of state foreign dignitaries.

12:29And so at any point to Jeffrey Epstein or Glenn Maxwell's names come up answer not that I recall. Question and you mentioned you did a lot of work on human trafficking. Could you talk a little bit more about that? And then also I would like to know if Jeffrey Epstein or Glenn Maxwell's names ever came up answer no I can tell you that those names never came up. As I said prior to their crimes becoming public I don't think people knew or if they did know they were not sharing that or if they did share it with the FBI or the justice department the investigations never went anywhere. So I don't know that anybody would have ever raised those names and I don't know that anybody knew to even look into it. As I said the whole question of human trafficking sexual slavery forced labor domestic violence for the longest time were not even considered crimes. And it took a lot of effort on the part of many many courageous people around the world to raise the visibility of these crimes and actually charge criminal law in many countries. When I spoke in 95 at the UN World Conference on women in Beijing that was one of the issues everyone was struggling with domestic violence was considered cultural not criminal sexual slavery was just something that happened young women were forced into prostitution.

13:40All of this certainly known and was something that had gone on for centuries thousands of years. But there were finally enough outrage and organization impetus to begin to try and change that and that's what I worked on when I was first lady because I really became aware as I traveled to Asia and Africa even Eastern Europe particularly after the fall of the Soviet Union what a big criminal network was operating around the world to traffic people. Obviously we're here focusing on what happened to girls and women with being sexually abused and it's also true that people were forced into labor and minds and fishing boats. I mean this was a phenomenon that finally was getting attention and we work very hard to raise visibility. I mentioned the law that was finally passed in our country in 2000 there was also something called the Polaramo Protocol where nations came together to pledge themselves to change laws to implement enforcement against trafficking. So it's been a long struggle but we've tried to focus on preventing it prosecuting it and protecting the survivors and we've made progress but obviously we're here today talking about crimes that are still happening even in our own country.

14:46All right folks we're gonna wrap up right here and in the next episode dealing with the topic we're gonna pick up where we left off all the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
