When you tell the truth, you have to ascertain the facts. And until you do that in the electronic age, boy, that lie could encircle the earth a thousand times. So it’s a handicap. But we’ll fight the information war too. And basically, you have the weapon of truth. We just have to be more efficient at the disclaimer. I think we have to shame the media that does this. I know you’re sort of tepid and mild about that. You should continue with your passion to speak for the truth and to shame those who spread the lies. I don’t see any other solution. Do you?” Mark Levin: “No”

Reporter: “Did Attorney General Pam Bondi tell you your name appeared in the Epstein Files?” President Trump: “No, no, she’s given us just a very quick briefing and in terms of the credibility in the different things they’ve seen — and I would say these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by the Biden — and we went through years of that, with the “Russia…Russia, Russia Hoax” with all of the different things we had to go through, we’ve gone through years of it. But she’s handled it very well and it’s going to be up to her — whatever she thinks is credible she should release.”
