A group of 19 Jeffrey Epstein survivors has come out in opposition to Todd Blanche’s nomination as President Donald Trump’s permanent attorney general. The survivors are concerned about Blanche’s participation in secret White House meetings on how to contain the political fallout from the Epstein files.
Concerns Over Blanche’s Handling of Epstein Files
The survivors raised specific concerns about Blanche, who played a key role in overseeing the release of the Epstein files after Congress passed a law mandating it. They stated that Blanche has consistently minimized legitimate concerns about how the files have been handled, including problematic redactions and the exposure of survivors’ personal information.
Liz Stein, one of the Epstein survivors who signed the letter, told CNN that Blanche’s behavior in regards to the Epstein case is ‘really concerning.’ The survivors deserve better and demand truth, transparency, and accountability from the attorney general.
House Oversight Chair James Comer has planned to ask Blanche to testify in front of his committee in July as part of the panel’s ongoing Epstein probe. The Trump administration has been dealing with the political fallout over how the files were released, and the millions of documents that were withheld.
