Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stansberry of New Mexico. She serves on that House Oversight Committee. So, Congresswoman, there is a local angle for you now to this investigation and we'll get there in just a moment.But first, on Les Wexner, I wonder how much you think that you can trust his testimony because, for example, he said his relationship with Epstein ended in 2007 but there are emails sent between the two men dated in June 2008.
