KENNEDY: Who if anyone did Epstein traffic these young women to other than himself?

KASH PATEL: Himself. There is no credible information -- none -- that he trafficked to other individuals. And the information we have is limited.

Booker: "Here's the thing, Mr Patel. I think you're not gonna be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution, Donald Trump has shown us he is not loyal to people like you."

President Trump hates wind power. But as his administration halts wind projects around the country, Trump's sons appear to be an exception to their father's war on wind.

And they're getting awfully rich.

Trump’s USDA has put thousands of farmers in an untenable limbo, by not honoring their signed contracts. Farmers need the money they planned on and are owed. Last night, Senate Republicans blocked my amendment to protect farmers. It’s not acceptable to abandon farmers this way.
