During a confirmation hearing for U.S. Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on Wednesday, Blanche dismantled the Democrat-backed narrative that the Trump administration has not been transparent about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes. Blanche, who has been serving as acting attorney general since April, said that the Trump administration has made all of the Epstein files available to every member of Congress and stressed the differences in action between this administration and the previous Biden administration. “We made unredacted versions of the entire database available to everybody in this body, and we did that because of transparency,” Blanche said. “Remember, for four years there wasn’t a peep about Jeffrey Epstein. The Biden administration did nothing to be transparent about the Epstein case.” Under Trump, some 3 million pages from the Epstein files have been made available to Congress, while millions of pages have also been released publicly. According to Blanche, he is not aware of a single document that is “responsive” or relevant that hasn’t been released. “We have been extraordinarily transparent in not only producing the records, but letting unredacted versions be available to anybody in this body,” he continued. “And if after reviewing unredacted materials a member had concerns about why something was redacted, they brought them to the department’s attention and we addressed that.” “I want to make sure the American people know that this administration, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, has been more transparent than any past administration, than Biden was, or anybody else,” he said. “What we did is we complied with the law, and if we learn new material, we will most certainly review it and make it available when it comes to the victims of this horrible man.” Acting AG Todd Blanche claims DOJ has complied with The Epstein Files Transparency Act pic.twitter.com/JfDTEizAHV — Acyn (@Acyn) July 15, 2026 Blanche also said the administration will hear from women who say they were victims of Epstein. “We will never, never not talk to victims,” the AG nominee said. “We will never fail to do everything we can to prosecute anybody who committed any crimes against any of these women, so that narrative is false.” “We have spoken with over 30 representatives of dozens and dozens of victims since this process started,” Blanche said. “Any victim, if they’re here today, I would encourage them, or their lawyers, to meet with the FBI. We will 100% investigate.” “There are no closed investigations,” he added. “If we learn today, if we learn next week, if we learn next month that there’s an individual who we can investigate, indict, and prosecute out of the Epstein files, you better believe that we will.” Blanche on Epstein: When it comes to the victims of this horrible man, we will never, never, not talk to victims.

During his opening statement to the committee, Blanche stressed that his job is to keep the nation safe. He emphasized the spike in criminal arrests under the Trump administration, specifically highlighting the sweeping changes brought to Washington, D.C., and Memphis. “We are keeping America safe, and we are just getting started,” he stated. The nominee also said he will focus on keeping the nation’s borders secure and keeping drugs out of the U.S.
