| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to a special bonus episode of The Investigation. I'm Kira Phillips, joined by my co-host |
| 0:11.5 | Chris Vlasto and also senior editorial producer, John Santucci. |
| 0:15.3 | I'm going to take one question because I'm like super late. And our guest, Sarah Sanders, needs no introduction. |
| 0:22.8 | And with that, I will take your questions. |
| 0:24.5 | She's been the leading spokesperson for the Trump administration since July of 2017, |

| 1:22.1 | But I think the president feels like, as I think most of America feels like, that this is over. We have had |
| 1:29.3 | two years, millions of dollars in taxpayer money, hundreds of hours of testimony from White |
| 1:36.6 | House officials, former campaign staff, et cetera, 1.4 million pages of documents submitted, and they all came to the same conclusion at the |
| 1:47.7 | culmination and the end of that, that there was no collusion, which was the whole point of the |
| 1:51.4 | investigation in the first place. That's been determined. It's been decided. Democrats shouldn't |
