## Resource

Former AG Pam Bondi revealed she handed over control of the Jeffrey Epstein document review to deputy Todd Blanche — who now faces a political firestorm after President Trump nominated him for a top DOJ post. Blanche, reportedly the architect of redactions and training for reviewers, is now under intense scrutiny as Democrats threaten subpoenas, raising serious questions about his confirmation and the Justice Department’s transparency.
