Summary

Just as depositions given by Hillary and Bill Clinton to the House Oversight Committee on the matter of Jeffrey Epstein have raised questions about why Donald Trump or Howard Lutnick shouldn't be next to be deposed, the revelation of missing documents in the Epstein files have given those questions greater urgency.

We've got a lot of news to get to tonight. Today is the last day of early voting before Texas's

0:05.8

primaries on Tuesday. And on the Republican side of the primaries, Trump has thrown himself,

0:11.6

I know. It's like I handed you a bag of M&Ms and asked you to tell me which one is

1:28.5
