Experts warn Blanche-led DOJ could derail Epstein survivors’ pursuit of justice

As Todd Blanche nears confirmation to lead the DOJ, Epstein survivors warn that a Blanche-led department could hinder accountability, citing his handling of the case—including the disclosure of survivors’ names but not the abusers, limited prosecutions, and a controversial meeting with Maxwell—as evidence. Legal experts say a confirmed or acting Blanche could suppress investigations, though avenues like FOIA requests and civil suits remain, they are slow and uncertain amid underfunded courts. The White House defends Blanche, while advocates urge persistence in pursuing justice.
