Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not be releasing the full Epstein files to Congress on Friday as required under new legislation, instead sending over a partial batch.
Blanche told Fox News the Justice Department would release “several hundred thousand” documents on Friday, “and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more.”
Blanche attributed the delay to the need to redact any names or identifying information about witnesses, but failing to turn over the full unclassified files could run afoul of the law, which gave the department 30 days to share the files with Congress. “So today is the 30 days when I expect that we’re going to release several hundred thousand documents today. And those documents will come in in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with, with all of the investigations into, into Mr. Epstein,” Blanche said. “What we’re doing is 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. And so I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks.”
DOJ was compelled to turn over the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a bill that got near-unanimous support in Congress, signed into law after President Trump reversed his earlier stance opposing their release. While the bill does allow for redactions related to victims and for DOJ to withhold some information about the investigation,

Ah... C’mon... Can’t we see at least one more photo of Epstein with somebody famous that proves absolutely nothing???
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
“DOJ must report to Congress (1) all categories of information released and withheld, (2) a summary of any redactions made, and (3) a list of all government officials and politically exposed individuals named or referenced in the published materials.”
This, “We would rather not ...” stuff is straight from the democrat playbook.
lol! that’s how I feel. Out of all the problems in the world, this is just a distraction. Some people think that if you ever were in the vicinity of Epstein, or flew on this plane then you are a pedophile. What a silly Country we have become. On the other hand, the more they delay, the more I get the feeling that maybe there is embarrassing stuff in there. Maybe they are waiting for Bill Clinton to die.
This is so unfair to the poor men that were kidnapped and forced to fly to Epstein Island against their will.
Lol.
Todd Blanche is clearly a political point man at the DOJ the guy doing the dirty work running the show IMHO.
Is Pam Bondi his Barbie Doll?
The Epstein Estate emails have Epstein writing speeches about bombing Syria back in 2013.
Donald Trump did that twice in his first term.
In 2018 Steve Bannon is told by Epstein that getting rid of Fed Chair Jerome Powell is more important than Syria.
And who’s been going after Powell ever since he got back in the White House.
I see Jeffrey Epstein influencing Trump Administration policy based on those emails...

Epstein files? What are Epstein files??
I’ve not forgotten what Trump said about Epstein files and conservatives that think they exist...
” Weaklings, past suporters,troublemakers and radical left lunatics.”
It’s “bullshit” and we “should not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein”.
There are no files to release, Kash, Dan, and Pam told us.
Has Boasberg, the circus clown weighed in yet?
😂
Awesome. So now we have to deal with the left saying that “The FBI is slow-walking these because they can’t redact Trump’s name from the documents fast enough” for the next month.
Whatever his flaws, he’s not part of this charade.
Yet.
Something evil and wrong is going on here.
I don’t know what it is.
But the whole Epstein saga stinks top to bottom, front to back.
