Published | Video Starts at 24:21

It's just a black hole trying to get information. Hopefully now with Trump's nominees, we're going to get transparency and we're going to get accountability. So I will say, and I suggested this right after President Trump got elected, is he probably ought to have nominated a Secretary of information extraction. You know, Bobby Kennedy is absolutely dedicated to radical transparency. I issued a friendly subpoena January 28th. We're not getting much, and it's not because of Bobby Kennedy. (24:21–24:30)
