00:00Good morning, good morning.

00:10I'm sure you've seen President Trump has just put out a statement that he has appointed

00:14me as the interim U.S. attorney for the state of New Jersey, my home state.

00:19As you know, I've stood by President Trump, his family, the organization, and many other

00:22clients in that state where I've been born and raised, and I'm raising my babies now.

00:27But there is corruption.

00:29There is injustice, and there is a heavy amount of crime right in Cory Booker's backyard

00:34and right under Governor Murphy, and that will stop.

00:37I look forward to working with Pam Bondi and with the Department of Justice and making

00:40sure that we further the president's agenda of putting America first, cleaning up mess,

00:45and going after the people that we should be going after, not the people that are falsely

00:50accused.

00:51That will stop in the great state of New Jersey starting now.

00:53Thank you so much.

00:54Who are the people that you want to go after?

00:55We'll see when I get in there.

00:57We've got to see what's going in.

00:59I know you'd love that narrative.

01:00Let me be very clear.

01:01You mentioned politics.

01:02I didn't, actually.

01:03Cory Booker and Governor Murphy.

01:04Correct, because I think Cory Booker and Governor Murphy have failed the state of New Jersey.

01:09If you look at what happened in crime, what's going on in Newark, what's going on in Camden,

01:13this has been a neglected state.

01:15It is one of the most populated states for its size, and it needs to stop.

01:20We're going to do a bang-up job.

01:21I cannot wait.

01:22It's a great honor.

01:23How long have you been here?

01:24Thank you very much.

01:25Do you have any more information on this U.S. attorney who died?

01:29Did she die of natural causes?

01:31No, I do not at that time, but I do pray for her family and I hope she rests in peace.

01:34That was tragic.

01:35Why is your name so relevant?

01:36I will be leaving the White House soon and going to New Jersey to serve in my current

01:40role and my new role.

01:41I mean, who isn't at a statewide admission?

01:44Thank you all so much.

01:47I'm excited.

01:48I'll see you in Jersey.

01:49Why didn't you appoint me permanently?
