POOL
Washington, DC - 11 February 2026
++STARTS ON A SOUNDBITE++
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Florida:
"(FBI Director) Kash Patel, under oath, said, Trump's name appears less than 100 times in the files. We now know that's not true. Trump's names appears more times in Epstein files than God's name in the book about God. Okay, by the way, this is the Trump Bible. Move over King James. Trump's name also appears more time in the Epstein file than Harry Potter's name appears in the seven books about Harry Potter. (Commerce Secretary Howard) Lutnick says that in 2008 he went to Epstein's home, says he had a massage table in the living room. That Epstein said he got one every day, that it was the 'right' type of massage. He and his wife decide to leave and say they'll never be in a room with him again. Howard then says, 'I'm sure the Epstein stuff is all on video. He was the greatest blackmailer of all time.' Well, how would Howard know that? But now the fires are public. And in 2012, we found out that he and his family are on Epstein Island after, after, after Epstein pled guilty to state charges. I'm from Florida. I take my family to Disney World, not to Epstein Island. There are documents in the files that dispute the president's claim that he kicked Epstein out of his club. Allegedly the president said Epstein, that he asked Epstein to leave. Supported now, that's disputed though, statements from the manager of the club. Now, Madam Attorney General, I have like 25 seconds left. So, because I'm curious, and just, I'd like to see you flip to the Jared Moskowitz section of the binder. I'm interested to see what staff provided on the oppo on me, and because we're in the Olympics. I'm gonna give it a grade. I just wanna see how good it is. So give me your best one."
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, U.S. Attorney General:
"So first of all, nothing is funny about mocking the Bible and holding up a Trump Bible.
(Moskowitz: I'm not mocking the Bible.)
That's what you did. You made a joke and I find offense at that. That's all I have to say to you. Shame."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Florida:
"I want it from the burn book. I want it from the burn book? Which is the best one? What you got?"

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Dan Goldman, D-New York:
"Even though you used improper redactions to protect Donald Trump and other predators associated with Jeffrey Epstein, you did the exact opposite thing with the survivors and victims of this scheme. So, their identification information was really the only thing required to be redacted, and it was not. And it's clear this was not a mistake. This was not by accident. This was not because you only had 30 days when you really used 75, and that doesn't even include all the hours last March that you were redacting it. But I'll tell you why it's a clear it wasn't a mistake, there is an email entitled Epstein Victim List. There are 32 names. One is redacted, 31 are not. So someone looked at it and decided to redact something. And I will tell you that that is clearly intentional, to intimidate these survivors and victims."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Dan Goldman, D-New York:
"None. And of those of you who have not met, which is everyone, how many of you have reached out, either individually or through a lawyer or representative, to offer to provide testimony and evidence?"
