Todd Blanche, the Epstein Files and the Survivors Left Behind (7/27/26)

Danielle Bensky argued that Todd Blanche is unfit to become attorney general because his handling of the Epstein files harmed survivors while doing little to expose or prosecute the people who enabled Epstein. She said the Justice Department released documents containing victims’ names, phone numbers, addresses and deeply personal details, even after survivors and their lawyers had identified information requiring protection. At the same time, she said the names of alleged abusers, facilitators and powerful Epstein associates remained heavily redacted. Bensky placed responsibility directly on Blanche, noting that former Attorney General Pam Bondi identified him as the official overseeing the document release.

Bensky also accused Blanche of suppressing accountability by declaring there was insufficient evidence for additional prosecutions, despite survivor testimony and investigative leads contained in the files. She criticized him for refusing her repeated requests for a meeting for roughly nine months while spending nine hours interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell before Maxwell received a favorable prison transfer. According to Bensky, Blanche only hurriedly met with survivors after Republican Senator Thom Tillis threatened to withhold support for his confirmation, and the meeting offered no credible plan for further investigations or justice. She concluded that Blanche had treated survivors as political obstacles rather than crime victims and urged senators to reject his nomination.
