US EditionBlanche says all Trump material in Epstein files will be released
Deputy AG Todd Blanche said photos were removed to protect Epstein victims and will be reposted with redactions; more documents will be released in the coming weeks.
- On Saturday, the Justice Department removed over a dozen photographs from a Friday Epstein files release and took images offline after victim advocacy groups raised concerns.
- Speaking on 'Meet the Press,' Todd Blanche said DOJ pulls photos when victim-advocacy groups raise concerns and redactions take time with hundreds of lawyers reviewing documents.
- News outlets reported 15 to 16 images were removed, including a tabletop photo and file 468 featuring President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
- Lawmakers threatened oversight and legal action, saying Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Thomas Massie, and Sen. Dick Durbin criticized the incomplete release and will pursue investigation or litigation over the missed deadline.
- Blanche said more documents should be rolled out within the coming weeks as the Justice Department continues reviewing and redacting records in an abundance of caution and denied any cover-up involving President Donald Trump.
