He suggested former AG Pam Bondi may have overstated what was known at the time. Acting AG Todd Blanche defended the DOJ, calling the process “extraordinarily transparent” and noting redactions were quickly corrected to protect victims. The Epstein case, involving years of abuse and his 2019 death in jail, continues to draw public scrutiny as the Justice Department releases thousands of documents under a congressional mandate, including photos and testimony, with Maxwell currently serving a 20-year sentence.
