Leonnig talked about hoping that prosecutors who were involved in the investigations will step forward and let the American people know the truth. Many people who were involved in investigating Trump have been fired and are having a hard time finding a job. Leonnig said they are forming their own law firm, and there may be a way for them to tell the story.

The truth should not be buried.

Do you also believe that the Epstein files should be buried? Many years have gone by without justice for the victims. Should the victims just let it go?
