Blanche admits DOJ 'failed' to protect Epstein victims' privacy

[sop]

(MS NOW) "In his testimony before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made a surprising admission: The Justice Department 'failed' in its rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein files by releasing victims’ identities and personal information."

"Victims of the late sex offender have told MS NOW they were retraumatized by seeing their personal information included unredacted in files released by the DOJ over the last six months."

"In response to questions from Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Blanche did not directly say, 'I’m sorry.' But he admitted DOJ officials 'never want to release a single victim’s name,' and that the mistakes were only present in a small percentage of the more than 6 million files. When those errors were identified, he said, '[W]e owned up to them.' "

"Blanche’s semi-apology was a step further than the public statements of his predecessor, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who neither apologized to nor turned around to acknowledge Epstein survivors who came to watch her testify at a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this year."

If Trump can sue the IRS for $10 billion, and receive a $1.776 billion "settlement" simply because an IRS whistleblower publicly released information he only paid $750 in taxes, then the Epstein victims should be able to sue the DOJ for much more than $10 billion for publicly revealing their personal information.
