Epstein chargesBlanche said the DOJ is not considering bringing any additional charges related to Epstein, after releasing millions of pages of documents tied to the convicted sex offender. The deputy attorney general also sought to temper the focus on President Donald Trump, who is mentioned more than 1,000 times in the documents. “It’s about a ton of people … that were quoted in the Epstein files,” he told CNN. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and hasn’t been charged with any crime related to Epstein. Trump on Thursday night praised Gabbard for “working very hard to try to keep the election safe” when asked by CNN why she was present during the search.
