Deputy AG Todd Blanche says Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum-security prison because of numerous threats against her life'

"Blanche pledged that the Trump administration eventually would meet its obligation required by law. But he stressed that the department was obligated to act with caution as it goes about making public thousands of documents that can include sensitive information. Friday's partial release of the Epstein files has led to a new crush of criticism from Democrats who have accused the Republican administration of trying to hide information."

"Blanche's comments were the most extensive by the administration since the file dump, which included photographs, interview transcripts, call logs, court records and other documents. But some of the most consequential records expected about Epstein were nowhere to be found, such as FBI interviews with survivors and internal Justice Department memos examining charging decisions. Those records could help explain how investigators viewed the case and why Epstein was allowed in 2008 to plead guilty to a relatively minor state-level prostitution charge."

The Justice Department released only a fraction of the Jeffrey Epstein files by the congressionally mandated deadline, citing the need to protect sexual-abuse survivors. The department pledged eventual compliance with the legal obligation while continuing a careful review of thousands of potentially sensitive documents. The partial release included photographs, interview transcripts, call logs, court records and other materials. Key records were missing, including FBI interviews with survivors and internal DOJ memos about charging decisions that could clarify the 2008 plea. Democrats criticized the partial release as hiding information, and DOJ officials called that criticism disingenuous.
