Buttigieg on Trump: "He says, day one, these Epstein files are going to come out. Because at the time, it was in his interest to pretend that he was going to do that, and now it is in his interest to block those files coming out. And I don't think it's unreasonable to ask, why?”
Buttigieg: "We should be pounding on that, even if it's not a central policy priority of the party."
“It's especially weird with Trump, right?,” Buttigieg said. "Because it's not -- it's not some wild liberal conspiracy plan that he was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. There's pictures, pictures still coming out now after all these years."
Buttigieg: "The pictures and footage that were there years ago, and not just him, like shaking hands, getting his picture taken with the guy, but like ogling women with him, right? Like dancing, like grooving with him – and now, we find out he was at his wedding."
Buttigieg on Trump/Epstein: "So obviously, there's something there. It's not even arguable that there's something there.”
Buttigieg: "Look, we already know that there were Democrats, Republicans, like, there are all kinds of people mixed up with this guy. I think most Americans say, okay, let the chips fall where they may, like, we gotta know."
