From the get-go, we've been monitoring this situation.

So I'm pretty clear in my own mind about what we've agreed and what the use of the bases are.

I've been saying we are not going to be dragged into this war because I say there must be a lawful basis.

That matters if you're going to commit our service personnel to risk their lives.

I never been friends with Epstein.

Donald and I were invited to some of the same parties as Epstein from time to time.

To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.

I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing, specifically centered around the survivors.

Give these victims the opportunity to testify under oath before Congress, with the power of sworn testimony.

Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story publicly if she wishes. And then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional record.

Only then will we have the truth.
