"We don't have perfect information, Blanche told NBC News' Meet the Press on Sunday. And so when, when we hear from victims-rights groups about this type of photograph, we pull it down and investigate. As Blanche put it, an investigation into the photos was ongoing, and they will go back up, with the only question being whether there will be redactions."
"I saw a number of survivors' names which should never have been published, because the whole point is to protect the survivors, she told the outlet. The other concern I have also has to do with the images of some of the potential victims and survivors, that some of those images were not redacted, should have been redacted, and in some cases, the images may be of women unclothed. And that is completely unacceptable."
"said their name had been wrongly exposed in the DoJ document dump, but she had been not been allowed to view her FBI file previously. The contradiction is extraordinary, the victim wrote in a redacted letter posted to X. The DOJ asserts that my own file requires prolonged review to determine whether redactions are appropriate yet it had no difficulty publicly releasing my identity in a mass disclosure."
Todd Blanche said photos removed from the Jeffrey Epstein files release, including one of Donald Trump, were taken down for review and likely will be reposted after determining needed redactions. Blanche said 16 images were removed at the request of victim-advocacy groups and that officials pull reported photographs down to investigate. Gloria Allred said survivors' names and images were under-redacted, exposing names that should never have been published and some images that may show unclothed women. One Epstein victim said their name was publicly released despite previously being denied access to their FBI file, calling the release contradictory. The partial release drew criticism of the administration's handling.
