The Department of Justice will not be releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by Friday’s deadline, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday morning.

In an interview with Fox News, Blanche said the department would “release several hundred thousand documents today.”

But he acknowledged Friday’s release would not encompass all of the DOJ’s documents for the investigation into the late financier.

          Oh, I’m not defending it at all! They should’ve been released carte blanch before today, unredacted. I’m honestly surprised we got anything at all given this current admins proclivity to ignoring legal orders.

            nah for sure. i just felt this was important context for everyone to remember. the president isn’t just covering up his pedophile buddies’ actions. the president, by not releasing everything has broken a law that literally says he has to put it out

          100% ignorant here(me not you) but was it not that the victims, the ones sex trafficked, names supposed to be the ones protected. So that there would be redactions but only to keep the privacy of those harmed. Not whole pages?
