Evidence that Trump's DOJ is Actively Intimidating Epstein Survivors

Julie Roginsky

Last night, I reported that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche lied on NBC News on Sunday when he told Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker that the Trump administration was delaying the release of the Epstein files — and redacting the tranche it released on Friday — in order to protect the girls and women trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

“The reason why we are still reviewing documents and still continuing our process is simply… to protect victims,” Blanche told Welker. “So the same individuals that are out there complaining about the lack of documents that were produced on Friday are the same individuals who apparently don’t want us to protect victims.”

That claim does not survive even minimal scrutiny.

Among the documents the Trump Justice Department redacted was a redacted email from a survivor to New York Post columnist Maureen Callahan describing an unnamed man who repeatedly had sex with another survivor at Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse while “flicking and sucking” her nipples.

We believe the underage girls to be the victums. It appears the administration believes the rich fat cats to be the victums.
