"I am not trying to defend Epstein I'm not. And I do defend the work that this department is doing today, right now, which is going after every single perpetrator anywhere. And if there's a narrative that exists that we're ignoring Epstein victims, that is false."
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on a podcast to defend the Department of Justice's treatment of Jeffrey Epstein's victims and the handling of the Epstein files. His comments came ahead of a closed-door briefing with the House Oversight Committee and a subpoena requiring Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the DOJ's Epstein investigation. Blanche stated the department is actively pursuing perpetrators and denied any narrative suggesting the DOJ is ignoring Epstein victims. CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig responded critically to Blanche's defense, questioning the DOJ's self-congratulation regarding victim protection.
