The Honorable Todd W. Blanche Deputy Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530 Congress of the United States Dear Deputy Attorney General Blanche: Washington, DC 20515 January 30, 2026 As the bipartisan lead sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, we write to formally request access to unredacted documents of the Jeffrey Epstein files in order to fulfill Congress's oversight responsibilities and to ensure that survivors receive the transparency and accountability they deserve. At a recent news conference, you stated that Members of Congress may arrange to review unredacted versions of the Department's production. Given ongoing reported concerns regarding the scope and consistency of redactions in the documents released to date, we respectfully request a meeting to review the unredacted records. In particular, we seek access to the following categories of materials: · First, hundreds of thousands of pages of emails and other documents recovered from Jeffrey Epstein's email accounts during the 2018 and 2019 investigations into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Second, victim interview statements from the initial Florida investigation and subsequent investigations in New York. We understand that the Department possesses FBI Form 302 reports documenting these interviews. However, the materials released to date in this category consist largely of pages that are fully redacted, providing no meaningful information for oversight or public accountability. Third, the 53-page draft indictment and the 82-page prosecution memorandum prepared during the 2007 Florida investigation. These documents are essential to understanding the government's knowledge of Epstein's criminal conduct and the circumstances surrounding the non-prosecution agreement and immunity he received. We have seen a blanket approach to redactions in some areas, while in other cases, victim names were not redacted at all. Congress cannot properly as…

‼️ YES!

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., wrote a letter to Deputy Attorney General Blanche today requesting a meeting to review the unredacted Epstein files.

And they demand 3 specific things...letter below.

Reporting after the jump...

Actions speak louder than words.

Tom Homan says he wants to do things differently, but we have yet to see meaningful change.

The only way to ensure the safety of the people of Minnesota is for the federal government to draw down their forces and end this campaign of brutality.

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012.

Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

Hell, yeah.

“I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

Downtown Minneapolis today! ✊

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview"

Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Wild that there are laws against convicted felons voting for President but not against convicted felons running for President or serving as President.

Justice Department pulling down pages that mention Trump...

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this.

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.

Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

It doesn’t seem like Epstein is a hoax after all.

Mood in minneapolis right now

Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Let me say something very directly.

We are objectively in a fascist authoritarian moment here in this country.

Academics and historians have established indicators for this. We are well over the line on many of them.

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.

I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

But this was okay…

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

What lying fucks they all are.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.

The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.

I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

We need an amendment prohibiting any president from creating a Gestapo.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:
