Kaine Joins CNN to Discuss Government Shutdown, Epstein's Emails about Trump, and Venezuela

Obviously, President Trump campaigned saying he was going to release the Epstein files and even teased that he would early in this calendar year. But he's gone back on it and that makes everybody wonder whether he's got something to hide. The House has been out of Washington for the last seven weeks for the pure reason that they want to avoid confronting a majority of the House that are going to order that these files be released. So now that the House is back in, I think you're going to see moves over the course of the next few weeks that will lead to the release of the files and then the public can see them and make up their mind.
