A Well, initially, again, we only received several hundred documents, and they were released upon redaction by the FBI. Then, once Director Patel assumed his position, we found many more documents. And, as we received those, those were reviewed and released. And we have always made it very clear that if anyone is the victim of Jeffrey Epstein -- and I count Ghislaine Maxwell in there too. She is just as evil as Jeffrey Epstein was -- that they come forward to us, to the FBI -- many of these victims are represented by lawyers -- and talk to us. Q Upon taking office, did any victims or victims' attorneys reach out to the Department? A Yes. Q How many? A I can't recall how many. I know multiple -- there were multiple victims, and many of which, I believe the majority, are represented by attorneys. Q Did you meet with them personally, or would that have been something that Todd Blanche would've done? A No. I spoke to one attorney. I cannot recall her name. She was a former prosecutor. And she seemed to deeply care about these victims, of course. And I spoke to her, and I believe I referred her to the FBI. You know, when a victim is represented, you go through their attorney. And I spoke to her directly. And then I know many of the lawyers in my office spoke to other attorneys. And I believe the FBI spoke to multiple victims as well, but I would direct that to Deputy Attorney General, now-Acting Attorney General Blanche and also Director Patel. Q You would've been briefed on these meetings with the victims and their attorneys. Is that right? A I have not been after the fact. Q Okay. Do you have any idea what the victims and their attorneys were concerned about during this time period of February and spring of 2025?
