The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Hey Lawrence.

Hey, Jen. Donald Trump in his surrender tweet tonight announcing that he was signing the bill,

managed to attack Hakeem Jeffries, among others, in that, and Hakeem Jeffries will be here

to answer that attack as our first guest tonight.

I'm really looking forward to hearing that. That was quite a screed. He used a lot of words

more importantly, in the Senate where Donald Trump had every right to believe that the

bill to release the Epstein files would hit a dead end in the Republican-controlled United States

Senate, even if it passed the House representatives. Today, the man who really created the

unanimous vote against Donald Trump finally emerged from the shadows and spoke.
