Blanche has consistently minimized legitimate concerns about how the files have been handled, including problematic redactions and the exposure of survivors\u2019 personal information. Blanche failed to deliver transparency, and he has gravely failed survivors. This is failing upward, plain and simple,\u201d they wrote.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe deserve better. We deserve truth, transparency, and accountability. We deserve to be taken seriously when we come forward. And we deserve an attorney general who will use the full power of that office to pursue justice, protect others, and ensure that what happened to us never happens again,\u201d the women continued.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            CNN has reached out to DOJ and the White House for comment.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a statement to The New York Times, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said that \u201cby releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee\u2019s subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act and calling for more investigations into Epstein\u2019s Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein\u2019s victims than anyone before him.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Earlier this week, House Oversight Chair James Comer told reporters that he planned to ask Blanche to testify in front of his committee in July as part of the panel\u2019s ongoing Epstein probe, an indication that even Republicans still have questions about how the Justice Department has handled the Epstein matter.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            As the Trump administration continues to deal with the political fallout over how the files were released, the millions of documents that were withheld, and redaction issues, former Attorney General Pam Bondi has sought to distance herself from the process and testified behind closed-doors to the panel last month that Blanche was responsible for overseeing the release of the files.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2489\">US puts up $750K to evacuate an American who was aboard hantavirus cruise ship from remote island<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe was in charge of the process and the entire release of the Epstein files,\u201d Bondi said at the time when asked about her role in the department\u2019s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            DOJ has released approximately 3 million files compelled by Congress, but Bondi was pushed to explain why another roughly 3 million have not yet been released.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Earlier this week, Comer met with roughly a dozen Epstein survivors in a private meeting, sources told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A member of the group meeting with Comer told CNN that survivors felt heard by the chairman. The survivors also told the Kentucky Republican that some of what\u2019s been said by witnesses that his panel has interviewed has been inaccurate and this is why witnesses should be under oath and recorded.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Many of the people testifying as part of the panel\u2019s Epstein investigation have appeared voluntarily, which has meant that they have not had to take a formal oath before speaking to the panel. Witnesses are reminded at the start of their interviews, however, that making false statements to Congress is subject to criminal prosecution.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe\u2019re continuously meeting with the survivors of Epstein,\u201d Comer, who has said he wants to eventually hold a hearing with survivors, told reporters on Tuesday.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He pointed to recent testimony from Epstein\u2019s longtime assistant as an example of what his committee will need to fact check with the survivors.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cChairman Comer\u2019s goal from the start of the Oversight Committee\u2019s investigation has been to provide transparency for the American people and accountability for survivors. We will continue to work with survivors as we conduct our review of the federal government\u2019s handling of the Epstein and Maxwell cases,\u201d a House Oversight Committee spokeswoman told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2487\">Trump says he will nominate Jay Clayton to top intelligence post<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors came out in opposition to Todd Blanche\u2019s nomination as President Donald Trump\u2019s permanent attorney general, citing his participation in secret White House meetings on how to contain the political fallout from the Epstein files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
