Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faced survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case and admitted something surprising: he never actually read the files he claimed had closed the case.Amanda Roberts, the sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, a survivor of Epstein’s exploitation, shared the meeting details on Katie Phang’s MeidasTouch podcast — and the information is shocking.Roberts asked Blanche directly, “Did you read the files?Did you personally read the files?” Blanche replied, “No.Personally, he did not review the files.”
It’s hard to believe!
The person in charge of handling the investigation into one of the worst sex trafficking rings in American history — a ring linked to influential, rich individuals in politics, finance, and entertainment — never actually looked at the evidence before claiming the case was closed with no more leads.
When Roberts challenged him about his public statements that there were “no investigative leads” and no more proof of other people involved, Blanche denied ever saying that.
“I didn’t say that,” he told her.
But everyone in the room immediately disagreed.
They had seen him say it many times in the media.Roberts refused to back down.She handed him documents with names in front of everyone.His answer?He said he couldn’t start new investigations without evidence, cooperation, and testimony — and told survivors they should talk to the FBI instead.
Survivors told him they already had.
Many times.
And here’s the part that should make every American uneasy: the FBI reports that document those very talks are completely missing from the files.
Roberts said, “I don’t even have the words for it.” For Blanche to deny his own public statements right in front of them was shocking and re-traumatizing for everyone.
Survivors of one of America’s most terrifying sex trafficking rings sat in a room, showed the Acting Attorney General real evidence, and watched him deny his own public statements, all while the FBI’s own reports were missing.
This isn’t justice.
It’s a cover-up, and the survivors are the ones left with the truth that no one in power wants to face.
