Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the Justice Department's review of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case is complete. Blanche acknowledged victims' desire for justice but emphasized the need for prosecutable evidence, addressing concerns that released files were incomplete or improperly redacted. He defended the department's transparency, stating they have nothing to hide, while acknowledging that some redaction errors were being rectified. However, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna disputed this, claiming that only half the documents have been released and that even those released are shocking. The released files included references to prominent individuals, though they have not been accused of wrongdoing.
