Sen. Murphy Says That Trump Is ‘Seriously Implicated’ in the Epstein Files: ‘The Biggest Corruption Scandal in the History of the Country

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Karl: “Senator Murphy, thank you for being here. Before we get the shutdown and those related issues, on Epstein, the president is now demanding or has demanded that the attorney general, the Justice Department investigate his political opponents. And Pam Bondi responded by basically saying, yes, sir, and moving in that direction. What do you make of that?”

MURPHY: “Well, it’s both heartbreaking and totally unsurprising. The Department of Justice has become a protection racket for Donald Trump and a witch hunt operation against his political opponents. This is why our democracy is in such peril right now is for the first time in our history the Department of Justice operates in order to try to punish and lock up anybody that criticizes Donald Trump. I am really proud of the work that representative Massie has done in the House of Representatives along with Ro Khanna. John Thune should bring that vote to the floor as soon as its passes the House of Representatives. Donald Trump is trying to cover up for a host of powerful and rich people, but he is frankly not that selfless. He wouldn’t be going through all of this effort to stop the release of the files if he wasn’t seriously implicated in those files. This is most likely the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country. We know that because Donald Trump is going to these extraordinary lengths to stop these times from coming out. Senate should take the vote. I think it will be likely another big bipartisan vote, and I am grateful to our colleges”
