"So, there's something called a 302, and that is a victim statement, Michaels began. All of us have been looking for our victim statements. Because we know what we've said, we know what was revealed. We know what should be in there. So, one of the things that I found in one of the 302s was that in a victim statement that was seven pages long, four pages looked like this, Michael said holding up a document that was completely blacked out."
"So, the the name of the survivor is appropriately blacked out. But what this victim shared happened to her is also blacked out. And so, when I hear, Todd Blanche say that they have complied, but then he also says, There's nothing in there, and if there was, we'd investigate.' Then there should be no reason why this is blacked out."
"Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the release of 3.5 million new files on Friday and praised the more than 500 lawyers and others who worked through weekends and holidays to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act. Despite Blanche's comments, the DOJ flirted with contempt charges by not having released the full tranche of files by the Dec. 19, 2025, deadline. In addition to Trump, Commerce secretary Harold Lutnick, and SpaceX founder Elon Musk were some of the prominent names mentioned in the files,"
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced release of 3.5 million new Epstein-related files and praised over 500 staff who worked through weekends and holidays to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act. The Department of Justice missed the Dec. 19, 2025 deadline for full release and faced potential contempt. Files mention prominent figures including Donald Trump, Commerce Secretary Harold Lutnick, and Elon Musk, though appearance does not equal wrongdoing. Survivor Jess Michaels criticized heavy redactions that obscured victim 302 statements, citing a seven-page statement with four pages entirely blacked out. Michaels described frustration and rage over the DOJ's handling affecting about 1,200 survivors.
