He was responding to a D.C. lawsuit over the DOJ\u2019s handling of the scandal.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Blanche asked that if the judge demands a fresh release, \u201cthe Court grant a stay of sixty days\u201d so that the department can consider an appeal, or seven days \u201cat a minimum\u201d so it can weigh filing for emergency review. He says he wants to shield \u201cvictims, law enforcement personnel, and the Department\u2019s resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump signed a law in November ordering the release of investigative files concerning Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s crimes. He did so as scrutiny of the president\u2019s own, once-close relationship with the pedophile was mounting, and only after a bipartisan push through both Congress and the Senate forced his hand.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ\u2019s bungled release of the files has so far sparked almost as much backlash as Trump\u2019s initial refusal to order it, prompting the president to fire Attorney General Pam Bondi in March. To date, the department has published around half of the documents in its possession. <\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s order allows officials to redact documents to protect victims\u2019 identities. Many of the omissions, critics say, have instead protected Epstein\u2019s alleged accomplices. A review by The Wall Street Journal found the published documents featured at least 43 victims\u2019 full names. <\/p>\n<p>They include more than two dozen who were minors at the time of abuse, and some names appeared over 100 times. Survivors\u2019 attorneys have put the figure much higher.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2760\">Allies Laugh at Trump Behind His Back During Bizarre Phone Call<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Katie Phang, a lawyer and former MSNBC journalist, brought the D.C. lawsuit against the DOJ in April. She claims the department violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by the president in November, by withholding certain documents and needlessly redacting the ones it did release. <\/p>\n<p>Blanche, who is Trump\u2019s former criminal defense attorney, replaced Bondi at the department\u2019s helm in March, and the president has since tipped him to take on the role permanently. He has defended the department\u2019s handling of the case and rejected the idea that it is obliged to publish more.<\/p>\n<p>Phang\u2019s suit argues that Blanche\u2019s refusal is illegal in several respects. Among other things, she notes the department has redacted the identities of recipients and senders on an email thread in which Epstein discussed a \u201ctorture video\u201d and having sex with underage girls. <\/p>\n<p>District Judge Emmet Sullivan, a George W. Bush appointee, is presiding over the lawsuit. He ordered Blanche last Thursday to either produce the unredacted material Phang has requested or explain exactly why Blanche believes he\u2019s allowed to withhold it.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan noted that Blanche had, by that point, made a number of procedural maneuvers to get the case dismissed while failing to \u201crespond substantively to any of the arguments\u201d laid out in the suit. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2759\">Trump Celebrates Return of Slave Owner Statue for Freedom Flop<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the Justice Department for comment on this story. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration wants more time to publish more of the Epstein files because it \u201cneeds to protect\u201d the victims it has spent months publicly outing.
