Todd Blanche was CC'd on Epstein case correspondence (EFTA00092801) when he was a defense attorney.
He is now the Deputy Attorney General overseeing the release of those same files.
The Situation Room should have been where they planned the takedown of the people who trafficked, abused and raped women and children. Instead, it became a place where those people were protected.
Why would Todd Blanche (in private law practice at the time) be copied in on confidential Epstein emails right after Epstein arrested in 2019? Now we know why Trump hired him as private attorney.
Big banks denied entire communities the opportunity to buy homes, start small businesses, and build financial security right here in our City for generations. In response, Ponce Bank was founded in the 1960's to give Puerto Rican New Yorkers the opportunity to build wealth.
Today, alongside @NYCComptroller and @nycfinance, we announced that we are depositing $20 million into Ponce Bank branches in Inwood and the Bronx to directly increase access to capital for working people.
Government should invest directly into people and neighborhoods. So that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Great news! Alejandro and his dad Jairo will be released from the Dilley trailer prison tomorrow.
Alejandro missed his last days of 10th grade at Churchill High School and should have never been locked up. Thanks to all who pushed for their release. Keep speaking up, your voice is making a difference!
Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia is calling on House Oversight Chairman James Comer to bring in for questioning these Trump administration officials involved in the secret White House meetings NYT reported on how to contain the political fallout from the Epstein files
NEW: Epstein survivors release statement blasting Todd Blanche following the revelation that he worked alongside the White House to protect Trump from the Epstein files.
"We deserve better. We deserve truth, transparency, and accountability. We deserve to be taken seriously when we come forward."
Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations:
I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax.
While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was.
You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room.
And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go.
So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does.
The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it.
Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that.
Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files.
Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.
