Blanche: Denies protecting Trump
The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) passed nearly unanimously by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump mandated the complete release of the Epstein files by Friday of last week.
But the Trump administration's Justice Department has released only one batch of documents so far, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche blaming the delay on the need to painstakingly redact the identities of Epstein's more than 1,000 victims from the documents.
In a statement, a group of Epstein victims complained that only a "fraction" of the files have been released and "what we received was riddled with abnormal and extreme redactions with no explanation."
