Rep. Ted Lieu Claims President Trump is Accused of Raping Children in the Epstein Files

Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus Ted Lieu (D-CA) tells reporters the Epstein files contain allegations that President Trump raped and threatened to kill children. He says House Republicans are trying to "distract" from those allegations by seeking testimony on Epstein from former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He also says the Justice Department "violated the privacy" of victims by failing to redact some explicit images from the files and that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche should resign.
