President Deflects Epstein Files Query, Criticizes CNN (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: On the Epstein files, you talked about Democrats who were in there, Elon Musk was also in there, and so was your Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and correspondents that he had with him. Did you read those new files that were published by the Department of Justice?

[00:00:10] Speaker 2: No, I didn't. I have a lot of things I'm doing. A lot of things I'm doing. I don't know. You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure they're fine. Otherwise, it would have been major headlines.

[00:00:20] Speaker 1: A lot of women who are survivors of Epstein's are unhappy with those redactions that came out. Some of the entire witness interviews are totally blacked out. Do you think that they should be more transparent?

[00:00:31] Speaker 2: They thought they released too much. I heard that, and you tell me something else. I think it's really time for the country to get onto something else. Now that nothing came out about me, other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people. But I think it's time now for the country to maybe get onto something else.

[00:00:54] Speaker 1: But what would you say to people who feel like they haven't gotten justice, Mr. President?

[00:00:56] Speaker 2: Something that people care about. What would you say to the survivors who feel they haven't gotten justice? You are the worst reporter. CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on your face.

[00:01:14] Speaker 1: Well, I'm asking you about survivors of justice.

[00:01:16] Speaker 2: You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth. And you're a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you.

[00:01:25] Speaker 1: These are survivors of a sexual abuse.
