0:00.0	It is happening. Donald Trump has been humiliated on the Epstein files, the House and Senate
0:06.2	voting to release them. And Republicans are now pretending they are the heroes of transparency
0:12.1	when they are really not. Remember that Donald Trump couldn't stop it and Republicans mostly had to get
