Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Friday that he expects the Department of Justice to release “several hundred thousand documents” related to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and disgraced sex offender.
“Those documents will come in all different forms, photographs, and other materials associated with all the investigations into Mr. Epstein,” Blanche told Fox News.
Friday marks the deadline for the Department of Justice to release and publish investigative files and documents related to the prosecution of Epstein.
This comes after years of rampant speculation about the potentially very far-reaching web of sex trafficking facilitated by Epstein and his former romantic partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving time in prison for her part in sex trafficking and the facilitation of child sexual abuse.
“President Trump has said for years that he wants full transparency, and he wants the Department of Justice to release everything that we can with respect to this investigation and cases; and we saw during the Biden administration, radio silence from the very Democrats that are screaming from congressional steps today that we haven’t done enough,” Blanche continued.
He said the DOJ has been “working tirelessly” since President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law 30 days ago to “get every single document we have within the Department of Justice, review it, and get it to the American public.”
The chief concern for Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Blanche said, was to ensure that victims’ privacy would be protected, even amid the public release of these files. “We are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their story to the extent it needs to be protected, is completely protected,” he said.
Last week, after receiving 95,000 photos from the Epstein estate, House Democrats on the Oversight Committee released 19 pictures to the public, some of which featured President Donald Trump.
As reported by LindellTV, the photos had no context and implicated no third parties in wrongdoing. And this week, Democrats released more photos, which included a snapshot of Bill Gates with an unidentified woman, and screenshots of text messages discussing the trafficking and sale of young girls and women.
