We have ... a moral obligation to protect people who have been the victims of these unspeakable crimes so that their names are not drug through the mud.

I will note the obvious concern ... Could she be counted on to tell the truth? Is she a credible witness?

If they see fit to bring in Ghislaine Maxwell for testimony, that's fine.

It’s interesting to me that he chose the election of President Trump to bring this.

I don’t understand Thomas Massie’s motivation. I really don’t.

And so this is for political games.

There’s no purpose for Congress to push an administration to do something that they’re already doing.

I don’t think we’re at that point right now, because we agree with the president.

My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing.

[President Trump] has said that he wants all the credible files relating to Epstein to be released.

My gosh, it’s hard to do sometimes around here.

Some people seem to enjoy trying to inflict political pain on their own teammates.

We can both call for full transparency and also protect victims.

We’re not going to play political games with this.

We're not sending anybody home.

There is no daylight between the House Republicans, the House and the president on maximum transparency. He has said he wants all the credible files related to Epstein to be released.

We all understand that the America first agenda and the American people are best served by putting an end to the Democrat side shows, and that's what we're doing by not allowing the Rules Committee to continue with that nonsense this week.

The president has said clearly, and he has now ordered his DOJ to do what it is we’ve all needed DOJ to do for years now, and that is to get everything released. So they’re in the process of that.

We live in an enhanced threat environment.

I do expect that whether there’s a special counsel appointed, which some are suggesting, and/or in conjunction with the House investigations, that we will get the answers and there will be accountability to the extent that we’re able to do…

The greatest threat of all this is not just what they’ve done to President Trump as an individual, it’s what they’re doing to the institutions.

I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth where it leads and to do it in an unbiased fashion.

There’s a lot of allegations on the table. Our job is to go and follow each of those trails and to find out the truth.

We have no concern about that. If it’s uncomfortable for him, he shouldn’t have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened.

Trump Accounts are all about setting up the next generation for success.
