Deputy AG: Bondi to hold back 'several hundred thousand' Epstein docs in Friday dump

Despite a law requiring the release of the Epstein files by Friday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche insisted that the Department of Justice would not release "several hundred thousand" of the documents.

"So today is the 30 days when I expect that we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today," Blanche told Fox News on Friday. "And just so everybody appreciates, President Trump has said, for years, that he wants full transparency, and he wants the Department of Justice to release everything that we can with respect to this investigation in cases."

"And so what we're doing is we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their story, to the extent it needs to be protected, is completely protected," he added. "And so I expect that we're going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks. So today, several hundred thousand. And then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more. "
