Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett on Sunday again called for the release of the Department of Justice’s evidence against the late accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, part of a growing cadre of Republicans calling for transparency in the case.

Speaking with “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz, Burchett said he wanted the Epstein files to be released, but cautioned against releasing material that might expose the identities of victims and others in the files who may be innocent.

But Burchett pushed back against criticism leveled by President Donald Trump, who earlier this week called Republicans demanding the release of the documents “foolish” and baselessly claimed the Epstein files were a hoax concocted by Democrats.

“Was I a little ticked off he said that stuff? Sure, I was, but I’m a big boy, Ma’am,” Burchett said. “We’re playing in the big leagues right now.”

Trump has since directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to move to unseal grand jury evidence in Epstein’s case, which Burchett called “a start.”

“I don’t think we’re ever going to get to the bottom of … all of it, Ma’am,” Burchett said. “You know, this town doesn’t give up its secrets very easy.”

Asked by Raddatz if he believed Bondi should resign, Burchett said he criticized her communication on the issue but stopped short of calling for her to step down.

“I have a saying: It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. If she finishes strong on this, then I’m all for it,” Burchett said. “I’m sure the learning curve is steep, and I think she blundered in the beginning, I really do, as most Americans do.

Iran is still evaluating if and how they will work with the International Atomic Energy Agency in light of a new bill passed in Iran’s Parliament Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Iranian state TV Thursday.

Whether or not Iran will stay in the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty, also known as the NPT, needs to be investigated, Araghchi said. Iran will “act accordingly with the interest of the country,” he added.

One of the reasons Iran cannot maintain the same relationship with the IAEA as it had before the 12-day war is because the IAEA did not condemn Israel and the US’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, he said.

“The IAEA Director-General should have done this,” referring to condemning Israel and the U.S.’s attacks on Iran’s’ nuclear facilities, Araghchi said. “Attacking nuclear facilities is an unforgivable crime from international law.”

Araghchi said the law passed by Iran’s Parliament will be further investigated by the Iranian government and said the new law hasn’t completely blocked a path for cooperation with the IAEA.

“We need to perform more legal work on this law and decide how we can set our relations with the IAEA,” Araghchi said.

The IAEA inspections have stopped inside Iran, Araghchi said.
