Ted Cruz Calls for Release of Jeffrey Epstein Investigation Materials

Published | Video Starts at 00:36

To Epstein's Island. And, you know, the attorney General has said that there are thousands of hours of videos, of explicit videos. And what she told me, I asked her [the Attorney General] a couple of months ago what the delay was, and what she told me then is she said the delay was that they're trying to go through those videos and make sure they're not releasing. Releasing images of kids being sexually abused. And I understand that you want to protect the privacy of the victim. And so that. And she just said that takes time. I think they should release every adult who was culpable and responsible. (00:36–00:51)
