Just read the files!' Dem lawmaker scolds irate host over Trump-Epstein ties

Summary
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) held her own in a recent interview with NewsNation’s Leland Vittert in defending her calls for accountability with respect to President Donald Trump and the serious allegations leveled against him involving Jeffrey Epstein.Stansbury was confronted Friday by Vittert over a social media post she made last week that referenced the recent arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former British prince who was briefly jailed over his past ties to Epstein.“If a Prince can be held accountable, so can a President,” Stansbury wrote in a social media post on X last Thursday.“What crime should Donald Trump be charged with?” Vittert asked Stansbury in an aggressive tone, as seen in a clip of the exchange that went viral on Sunday.“Donald Trump was investigated by the FBI for abuse of a minor, and there are multiple statements from witnesses that the FBI took as tips, and they investigated as allegations,” Stansbury said. “Those, as far as we know, were never taken to the fullest extent of their investigation.”Vittert, visibly frustrated, continually tried to interject as Stansbury continued speaking, interjections that rose to the level of shouting. In response, Stansbury offered Vittert some advice.“Sir, I didn’t come on your program to argue. I came to present the facts to the American public," she said. "The files are there. I don’t have to argue with you on the air. Just go read the files, my friend!”
