now, this morning, we got news that another tranche of Epstein files was released by the DOJ, but these releases raise far more questions than answers. There is a lot here that does not add up. First, the DOJ says all the documents were released. Well, does that include all the coconspirator memos? all the corporate protection memos? the original Palm Beach Police Department reports? We need answers to that, those and other areas that may not have been included, and we just don't know those answers. Second, has all the relevant information been released on each of the 10 Epstein coconspirators? There are 10 coconspirators. In this new tranche of documents, is every one of those 10 included? And if not, why not? Third, the DOJ numbers keep changing. They say they collected 6 million pages, but they are only releasing 3. What happened to the other 3 million? What is in them? And, finally, has every document that mentions the word 'Trump' been released? Yes or no? We need answers. It is now 42 days and counting that the administration has violated the law by failing to release all the files. Every Member of this body voted that all the Epstein files should be released, and we are not satisfied that the law is being complied with. We believe it is not. The American people need answers, above all. The American people are asking about this. Pressure from the American people got just about every Member of the House and Senate to vote to release the files.
