All right, welcome to the Jim Acosta show, and it is another day that ends in why in the Epstein cover-up

despite promising to release the Epstein files.

Trump and top administration officials are still withholding that information from the public.

So sensing a nightmarish midterm election cycle on the horizon,

Trump's own party is now going to at least try to subpoena the files.

Who knows if they'll actually get released?

But joining me on the program, as you can see,

former Democratic presidential candidate, Julian Castro.

A little later, I'll be speaking with Juliet Jeske about her work on the terrific

social media account decoding Fox News, which is a great resource for understanding how Fox

operates. But in the meantime, Julian, great to see you. Hey, good to be with you, Jim. Hey, thanks so much

for doing it. And forgive me for starting on the Epstein stuff.

I do want to talk about the Texas redistricting battle. But I mean, this bombshell news just came out

earlier this afternoon, the House Oversight Committee issuing a subpoena to the Justice Department

for its files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

You know, apparently they also sent out subpoenas to, for former Democratic officials,

people like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, former attorneys general,

Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, you know, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzalez. So it's interesting.

They're casting a wide net, maybe perhaps to not upset the dear leader over at the White House

because they're actually trying to get the Epstein files.

But what's your response to this?

And Julian, I mean, I haven't spoken to you about this, you know, on the show.
