Blanche: No evidence in Epstein files he was a spy
Blanche said the FBI collected 15 years of records with no evidence Epstein spied for anyone, as lawmakers pressed for more file releases.
- On Thursday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on Fox News claiming the Department of Justice "released all the files" on Jeffrey Epstein and found no evidence he was a foreign spy.
- President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, elevating Blanche to the acting attorney general post hours later amid criticism of Bondi's handling of high-profile cases.
- Lawmakers dispute Blanche's claim, stating "about 50%" of the files have been released, with millions of documents withheld despite Transparency Act requirements. Some DOJ documents reference Epstein as a "co-opted Mossad agent."
- Rep. Robert Garcia warned that withholding files violates congressional subpoenas, while Rep. Thomas Massie threatened Blanche with 30 days to release remaining records before facing criminal liability.
- Bondi remains scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee later this month, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that her firing will not shield her from accountability on Epstein.
