Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss this administration's

massive cover-up of the Epstein files in order

to conceal President Trump's involvement. This

cover-up reached its apex last month when Attorney

General Pam Bondi falsely testified under oath

before the House Judiciary Committee. The Attorney

General testified, quote, "There is no evidence

that Donald Trump has committed a crime. Everyone

knows that," unquote. This is a lie. In the

3 million or so documents that the DOJ has disclosed

to Congress under the Epstein Files Transparency

Act, there is credible evidence that Donald

Trump committed a crime. And that, of course,

excludes the nearly 3 million pages that the

DOJ is refusing to turn over. Donald Trump is

mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein

files. There are multiple allegations that he

sexually assaulted young girls. But I want to

focus on one victim's allegations that the FBI

unquestionably found to be credible. The DOJ

tried to hide reports of three of the four interviews

that this victim gave to the FBI, but pressure

from the media and Congress forced them to disclose

them. And now we know why. She credibly accuses

Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when

she was between 13 and 15. In each of her interviews,

this victim recited the same account of her

interaction with Donald Trump. On August 7th,

2019, she explained that she was between 13

and 15 when she was left alone with Donald Trump,

who, quote, mentioned something to the effect

of, "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed

to be." Trump unzipped his pants and put her

head down, quote, "down to his penis." Bit the

S out of it. Trump struck the victim and said

words to the effect of, "Get this little B the

hell out of here." The victim advised that she

bit Trump's penis because he disgusted her.

She provided some additional details in the

next interview two weeks later, and then a month

later, she met again with the FBI and asked,

quote, "what the point would be of providing

the information at this point in her life when

there was a strong possibility nothing could

be done about it." She didn't speak to the FBI

again. But the FBI certainly found her story

credible. In a 21-page PowerPoint presentation

that the FBI made to prosecutors, they included

this victim's testimony. They would not have

done so if they did not find the evidence credible.

Which means that Attorney General Bondi lied

when she stated under oath that there is no

evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime.

But we're just scratching the surface. Because

the Epstein files also reveal that Donald Trump

has made false statements over the past quarter

century about Jeffrey Epstein. We know in 2002,

he called him a "terrific guy" and said, quote,

"It is even said that he likes beautiful women

as much as I do, and many of them are on the

younger side." In a birthday card in 2003 that

Donald Trump gave to Jeffrey Epstein for his

50th birthday, Donald wrote for himself that,

"We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Enigmas never age. Have you noticed that?

A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday,

and may every day be another wonderful secret."

But in that same year, Palm Beach County opened

an investigation into Epstein that eventually

was turned over to the FBI. That investigation

became public in 2006, and the Palm Beach County

Police Chief received a call quickly after from

Donald Trump, where Trump told him, "Thank goodness

you're stopping him. Everyone has known he's

been doing this." What innocent person calls

the police chief about an investigation upon

just learning about it?

The recent documents also show that Jeffrey

Epstein emailed Ghislaine Maxwell and said,

quote, "I want you to realize that the dog that

hasn't barked is Trump. Redacted victim spent

hours at my house with him. He has never once

been mentioned." Trump also denied that he ever

went on Epstein's plane. But of course, the

Southern District of New York said that he was

on his plane eight times, often with young women.

The reason why this matters is because we don't

have half of the Epstein files. And if the Attorney

General is covering this up in such a degree

that she is redacting things from Congress,

that she then... redacting things from the public

that she then shows to Congress, what else is

she covering up?

And I would just show that this document here

was redacted to the public, it was unredacted

to Congress, and it completely disputes everything

that Donald Trump has said about Jeffrey Epstein,

about what he knew about the allegations, about

his disgusting behavior, about whether he'd

ever been to Jeffrey Epstein's house, saying,

"I may have been there with my wife." Asked

if any young girls were there. "No. He may have

had children of guests, but that's it." Well,

we know that's not the case. Now, why is this

important?

Because if the Attorney General is covering

up this information that she then reveals to

Congress, what else is she covering up about

Donald Trump's involvement in the Epstein files?
