from The Vault: The Epstein Files · host Bobby Capucci
Nineteen Jeffrey Epstein survivors publicly opposed Todd Blanche’s nomination to become permanent attorney general, arguing that his role in the administration’s handling of the Epstein files showed a failure of transparency and accountability. Their statement came after reporting that Blanche and other senior officials participated in Situation Room meetings focused on managing the political fallout from the Epstein records controversy. The survivors said they were alarmed that top officials appeared to treat the matter as a reputational problem instead of an opportunity to investigate what happened, protect survivors, and give the public a full accounting.The group specifically criticized Blanche for overseeing the release of Epstein-related files while serious questions remained about redactions, withheld documents, and the exposure of survivors’ personal information. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has also tried to distance herself from the controversy, telling lawmakers that Blanche was responsible for the process. Blanche’s nomination now faces added pressure as House Oversight Chair James Comer has said he plans to subpoena him for testimony in July, while survivors continue pushing Congress to put witnesses under oath and force a clearer record of how the DOJ handled the Epstein and Maxwell files.to contact me:[email protected]:Group of Epstein survivors announce opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination | CNN Politics
