Nick Fuentes on the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files: “What we do know for a fact is that they lied. They engaged in a cover-up which failed.”
Fuentes: “They pulled out every procedural stop to prevent the files from coming out. And now we only have half of them and what's in there is pretty disturbing.”

NICK FUENTES (HOST): First you said they're on your desk. Now you say they don't exist. You campaign saying you're going to release the files, now you say there are no files to release. You talked about this sex trafficking ring. As a matter of fact, that's what Epstein was charged with and convicted for 20 years ago. Now you say there never was a sex trafficking ring.
...
Then you get this extraordinary cover-up. Trump comes out as guilty and defensive as anybody could possibly be. He says, “If you are interested in the files, you're an idiot. You're a fake supporter. You're with the Democrats. You're with them. It's a hoax. The Democrats made it up. Why would they not get to the bottom of it under Biden?” One line after another, one excuse after another piling up. “There are no files. It's only child sex abuse material. The files are real, but they're a hoax. They're real, but they are fake. If you believe in them, you're not my real supporter.”
Then you have Republican members of Congress that break with the party and vote with the Democrats to release the files.
...
Then Trump tries to drag his feet. They try to delay the release of the files. They try to amend the bill, doesn't work. It takes two months. Now we're in January 26. We finally get the files and there are 6 million of them. Now we finally get the files after they pulled out every stop to prevent this from happening. They shut down the government. They shut down Congress. They tried to trick us. They tried to postpone it. They lied. Trump tried to guilt trip us, tried to tell us it's not real.
Finally, they release them. There's 6 million files. And Trump is named almost 5,000 times. And you say, “OK, so that was a lie. Everything they said about it was a lie.” They said the files don't exist. OK, there's 6 million of them, so obviously they exist and you lied. Then they said, “Well, they're a hoax.” OK, well maybe some of this stuff isn't credible, but clearly a lot of it is. So that's a lie too. They said, “There is no trafficking ring.” Well, from these emails and judging by what we've seen, I don't know that you can actually say that. I don't know that you can infer that without a full investigation.
So it's hard to draw concrete conclusions from what we've seen because a lot of it is inconclusive. However, what we do know for a fact is that they lied. They engaged in a cover-up which failed. They lied about the existence of the files, the contents of the files, the treatment of the files. They pulled out every procedural stop to prevent the files from coming out. And now we only have half of them and what's in there is pretty disturbing.
