“Today, U.S. and Iranian officials are holding talks in Geneva as America stands at the brink of another potential conflict in the Middle East. Earlier this week, Senate leaders and I met with Secretary Rubio. Everyone is asking what the plan is with respect to Iran, and we are all looking for answers that the administration has refused to give. The issues we discussed in our classified briefing were very serious, and the American people deserve to hear it directly from the President and his administration. The administration should come clean and tell the American people exactly what the goal is in Iran. I have always said that confronting Iran and halting its nuclear ambition requires a strategy, clarity, and transparency. Thus far, we are getting none of that from the administration. The American people deserve answers. Mr. President, on Epstein, the way Pam Bondi and the Justice Department handled the release of the Epstein files has all the stench of a coverup. Yesterday, news outlets reported that several memos detailing a woman's accusation against the President from when she was a minor have been withheld from the public. We know these memos exist. An index of all the investigative materials confirm their existence, and under law--the law we passed unanimously here in the Senate--they need to be made public. Pam Bondi does not have the right to pick and choose which Epstein files to release to the public.”
