| 0:00.0 | Hi, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York. The relentless courage and the pursuit of accountability |
| 0:11.4 | by the survivors of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein combined with some intrepid reporting |
| 0:17.6 | that pulls the curtain back on Jeffrey Epstein's world and the world of his associates, has Team Trump on its back foot today. |

| 1:26.4 | So I guess that means this Justice Department |
| 1:28.9 | is actually investigating Donald Trump. |

| 1:32.9 | Here's what ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, |
| 1:35.4 | Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia, |
