Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told MS NOW that Democrats need to use their “leverage” to get President Donald Trump to testify about his relationship with dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein — and implied the president is scared of doing so, unlike ex-President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
Swalwell made his comments during an appearance on Alex Witt Reports on Saturday afternoon. Host Alex Witt noted the Clintons agreed to a closed door deposition with House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) related to Epstein; Witt then said Trump had a “somewhat surprising” reaction this week when he said it was a “shame” they will have to testify.
“Is it because he’s worried Democrats will then call him to testify?” Witt then asked Swalwell. “Democrats will call him to testify,” Swalwell insisted. “We will use the leverage we have right now to put pressure on Comer to have Donald Trump testify.” He continued:
Look, if you’re going to run an investigation, everyone who is a part of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring ever should have to testify — those that knew something and those that were even on the periphery. So, you know, the Clintons are willing to come in — they’re willing to do something that Donald Trump is not willing to do.
But the guy who’s mentioned in over 5,000 files, the most of anyone, should certainly be the first person on the list, not the one Republicans are trying to cover up.
