okay so In fairness Senator Kennedy sorry Martin Mr director welcome I bet you just love talking about where to put the FBI building don't you probably one of your favorite topics uh I've got two questions number one if you took the major Mexican drug cartels which also traffic people into the United States and turned them upside down and shook them president Lopez obor would fall out of their pockets wouldn't he well I don't uh I don't know that I can comment on a specific individual's um corruption other than through cases that we bring uh but I I understand the point that you're making for sure we're not getting much cooperation out of Mexico are we let me put it this way uh while we have had some successes here and there in terms of extraditions and so forth and I appreciate those and I'm grateful to our Mexican partners for those especially at the working level we need a whole lot more from Mexico than we've gotten in terms of shutting down the cartels and stopping the flow of the precursors I mean I could go on and on so I'm grateful for the the successes we have had but we need a heck of a out more uh is the way I would answer that what why don't we use leverage of what I call NAFTA 2 to try to encourage the president of Mexico to cooperate more you know I mean NAFTA of course is a trade agreement um and um I'm not really an expert on trade relations um certainly from an FBI perspective we welcome every tool in the tool box uh to try to improve uh the relationship and the cooperation and I'm hopeful uh that the Mexican Government will see the value of uh building on the successes we have had and take it to the level that it needs to be because it's not where it needs to be okay here's my second question we know that uh Jeffrey Epstein who is now deceased and and miss m well his associate who's in prison were engaged in a uh conspiracy of sex trafficking with minors so were others it's been widely reported what's the FBI doing to investigate the other people that were involved in the sex traffic trafficking ranks well I'm not sure that I can um confirm any specific individual well let me put it this way let me give you some facts widely reported Jeffrey Epstein had video surveillance in all of his homes and on his private island and there has been there there have been articles after articles from Witnesses who have said he videotaped sex acts with prominent people because he was trying to curve with with young girls that he had procured to try to incur favor with those prominent people and potentially for to be able to Blackmail them now that's a fact and and and the FBI and other federal agencies have raided his houses do you have those tapes again I can't discuss the specifics of our law enforcement operations related to Mr Epstein or Miss Maxwell but obviously we had very active investigation related to both of them uh but whether it extends to other people I'm not sure that's something that but but here com a suit was filed yesterday against one of those prominent people by one of the young women sex trafficked allegedly said he was part of the ring so on the front page I don't know is this New York Times Wall Street Journal and we keep keep seeing article after article after article and we keep hearing about prominent person after prominent person after prominent person I just want to know if these prominent people are above the law and are going to be and aren't being in investigated or is the FBI investigating well no one is above the law number one uh as to whether specific people are being investigated that's not something that I as I'm sure you can appreciate can engage on here we've devoted significant resources to the investigation um is it ongoing I'm not sure there's anything I can share with you on that but let me see if we can get back to you and provide a little well for example these allegations in this lawsuit the civil action I haven't I haven't seen you read article it'll trigger your gag reflex um is the FBI going to investigate that well I again I haven't seen the article but would be happy to take a look at it and take it back and see if it's part of something I just like to know I share your yeah is the FBI still investigating this or are are these prominent people going to go scot-free I'm not sure that I can tell you whether or not there is ongoing work being devoted to this I would be happy to take a look at the specific article I share your uh disgust at Mr ste's conduct and Miss Maxwell's conduct and others the whole operation okay thanks Madam Sher sorry Martin you're a fine American anyway thank you Senator Kennedy
