Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on, I am here to offer what little I know so that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening again.

I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing. No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos.

I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see.

I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn't do.

I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.

I haven't made a decision on Iran. I am not happy with how they negotiate.

Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.

There may or may not be a regime change in Iran.

Maybe we will have a friendly takeover of Cuba.

Iran isn't saying the golden words: "No nuclear weapon."
