Todd Blanche: "This administration, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, has been more transparent than any past administration, than Biden was, or anybody else. We complied with the law."
The law required the full release of the files by December 19, 2025. Three million documents haven't been released. Todd Blanche is lying through his teeth at his confirmation hearing.

Analysis Summary
Todd Blanche claimed the Trump administration complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and was more transparent than past administrations — but the DOJ actually missed the December 19, 2025 deadline and has withheld over 3 million documents. Vice President Vance himself publicly admitted the administration 'absolutely screwed up' the Epstein files release, directly contradicting Blanche's statement. The core facts check out: the deadline passed, millions of files remain unreleased, and even Trump's own team has acknowledged the failure. Cohen's accusation that Blanche is 'lying through his teeth' is supported by the available record.
