The Epstein files have all been made public, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declared.

The DOJ chief who took over for Pam Bondi made the announcement during a recent appearance on Fox News, saying all of the files from the 6 million pages slated for release have already been made public.

“We have released everything,” Blanche told a Fox host asking he would authorize Congress to release new files.

“So listen, we reviewed six million pieces of paper. What we released were anything associated with the Epstein file.”

“So we are not sitting on a single piece of paper. Nothing that should be released. If we find something else tomorrow, we’ll release it. I don’t anticipate we will,” Blanche continued.

“So the misguided assumption that there is more to be released is because we reviewed millions and millions of pages within the department, millions of which had nothing to do with Epstein,” the acting DOJ chief added.

Blanche argued that members of Congress were able to review unredacted files, and that withheld files were not released because they contained victims’ names or personally identifiable information.

“And so we have, I don’t know how this department or this president can be more transparent than saying, ‘American people, here is every single document in our entire database,'” Blanche said.

However, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in February discovered that not only were victims’ names redacted, but also the names of co-conspirators, including L Brands CEO Les Wexner and Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.

Blanche’s latest refusal to release the Epstein files came as First Lady Melania Trump in a bizarre press conference last week distanced herself from Jeffrey Epstein and refuted allegations she was trafficked by him to President Donald Trump.

Following Melania’s announcement, Rep. Massie emphasized her call for Epstein victims to testify to Congress, calling on Blanche push the case further.
