Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has been in the role for just 47 days, appeared before a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee and claimed he “doesn’t understand what the ‘Epstein investigation’ means” when asked whether the Justice Department’s probe into financier Jeffrey Epstein was still open. Blanche denied the FBI’s statement that the investigation had been closed, contradicted his predecessor’s claim about a “client list” file, and defended the department’s handling of the mandated release of millions of Epstein‑related documents—admitting the DOJ had missed the Dec. 19 deadline, issued heavily redacted files, and mistakenly exposed victims’ identities. Senators and Epstein survivors criticized the DOJ’s errors and the continued failure to fully upload the files, while Blanche offered no apology and suggested the department had “failed” only when a victim’s name was released.
