Todd Blanche Gets Blasted Over Withheld Foreign Language Epstein Documents · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. So I don't think it's any secret to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: anybody that's been listening to the podcast for any period
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of time that I'm not exactly what you would call
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a member of the Todd Blanche fan club. And the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: more information we get, the more we hear about this dude,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the less I like him. And the fact that he's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: stalling the Epstein investigation and doing it so brazenly is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just unbelievable to me. And what's even more unbelievable is
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that we actually have senators out there that are going
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to confirm this dude. Because you know that's coming. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: don't want anybody to get any kind of, you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: excitement going, only to have it come crashing down. This
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: guy is going to get confirmed. Those senators, they only
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: dance to one tune. And that tune is the one
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: being played by Donald Trump. So if we think that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: these senators are going to come in and save the day,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to be left highly disappointed when
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: all is said and done. Because I believe that Todd
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Blanche is going to get confirmed. And I also believe
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that he is highly unqualified for the job. Today's article
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: was published by Raw Story and the headline, Todd Blanche
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: accused of withholding huge keys to new Ghislaine Maxwell charges.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by David Edwards. Acting Attorney General
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Todd Blanche is withholding foreign language Epstein documents that could
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: be used to bring new charges against convicted sex trafficker
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell, a legal analyst has warned. Oh, there's no
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. All those documents they say are unresponsive
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: or duplicative, I have my doubts. And if they were
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: really being transparent, they'd just release them, right? If they're duplicative,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: release them and let us see. But instead, all we
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: get is pushback. It gets called a hoax. They tell
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: us to move on. They say that it's just some
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: kind of hit job on President Trump. When we all
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: know it's something much larger than that. And then you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: add on top of all of that, a guy like
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Todd Blanche that's willing to do whatever the president wants
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: him to do. And we got ourselves quite the problem.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Former MSNOW anchor and attorney Katie Fang, who personally sued
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Blanche over Epstein file compliance and won a court order
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: forcing him to act, made the accusation on her YouTube channel.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Her analysis was prompted by the death of modeling scout
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Daniel Syed, 69, found dead Monday at his home in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the Paris suburb of Cologne, BBC News reported. And I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: still have a lot of questions about that. We're certainly
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not done talking about Daniel Syed, but I'm trying to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: gather more information so that we have a good baseline.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I think that we've come to a point with that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: story as of now where we're pretty caught up. There's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: not much out there as far as information. And obviously,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: once we have something to bite our teeth into, we'll
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get that added to the catalog because there's still a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: big story there. I just don't think there's enough information
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to really dive in yet as far as, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: an episode. Now, behind the scenes, you better believe I'm digging,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: especially considering the circumstances. But I think that Katie Fang
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is certainly onto something. How many of these files are
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in a different language? How many of those files have
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not been released? Syed was under French investigation for allegedly
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: helping run Epstein's international sex trafficking network. French authorities had
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: never interviewed him before he died, BBC News reported. Fang
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: argued his death made the Justice Department's handling of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: case more urgent, not less. Well, this is the goal.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And I hate to keep saying it, but this is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the goal. They want people to pass away. They want
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: evidence to be destroyed or lost. And they want people
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to move on. That's why they're not pursuing it the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: way they should. That's why it's not the biggest story
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the whole world still. And unfortunately, it's a very
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: effective strategy. Look at how many important people in this
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: story have passed on. I mean, from Jeffrey Epstein to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Jean-Luc Brunel to Daniel Syed to Virginia Roberts. A lot
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of people who knew a whole lot about Jeffrey Epstein.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure it's just a coincidence, right? According to Fang,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the documents at the center of her accusation are foreign
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: language materials from the Justice Department, Epstein's investigation, none of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: which have been made public. On June 25th, U.S. District
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Judge Emmett Sullivan ordered Blanche to begin reviewing and producing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: those materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: law Trump signed in November 2025, requiring the full release
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of Epstein-related records. Had his arm twisted, And if it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: wasn't veto proof, he probably would have vetoed it. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's just damning. Imagine having a president that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: would veto a bill like that. It's hard to wrap
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your mind around it. But here we are. Blanche missed
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the July 2nd deadline. In a court filing that day,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the Justice Department argued it was not practicable to review
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: foreign language documents and that the court should not supplant
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Congress's acceptance of this explanation. which again is a big
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: middle finger to the judge in this case, who has
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: told him, I don't give a damn about your it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: not practicable excuse, Fang said. Go ahead and do what
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you're already seven months behind on. And that's really what
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it comes down to. The law says one thing. The
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Justice Department is doing another. Now, what if you tried that?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I wonder how that would work out. I'm guessing not
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so well. These foreign language documents that nobody has even seen,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they could be big, huge keys to being able to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: continue to link and connect all these sexual predators, she added.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Maxwell is serving a 20-year U.S. prison sentence for sex trafficking,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but has never faced charges in France, where she was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: born and holds citizenship. Blanche spent nine hours interviewing her
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: over two days in July of 2025, according to NBC News,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and gave survivors just 90 minutes after a 374-day wait,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: according to a reconstruction by journalist Tara Palmieri. Well, that's true.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: He had way more desire to sit down with Maxwell
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: than with the survivors, and I wonder why. I'm sure
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with a little quid pro quo, right?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: One week after those meetings with Maxwell, she was moved
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to a low-security Florida facility to a minimum-security prison camp
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in Bryan, Texas, NBC News reported. a facility where a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Bureau of Prisons policy generally bars sex offenders. Fang argued
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that Maxwell could still face prosecution in France if investigators
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: can build the case. And that's true. And she can
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: also face state charges, let's not forget. Dual sovereignty. Ghislaine
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Maxwell has only been prosecuted for crimes that are specific
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: jurisdictionally to the Southern District of New York. Fang said,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that she can't be extradited to France. Well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do that. I'd
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: much rather Glenn Maxwell rotting in prison here. Now, after
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: her sentence is up, cool. After the 20? All right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Right over to France for a more gel sentence? Count
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: me in. Building that case, Fang has argued, requires France
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to appoint an investigating judge, a judicial official with the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: power to subpoena witnesses and compel testimony. In its ongoing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: probe targeting former Elite Models boss Gerald Murray, who Fang
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: said faces, Six new victim complaints filed last week. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: we've talked about Gerald Marie for years here. And how
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he was part of the problem. One of the Jean-Luc
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Brunel crew. Another guy that was friendly with Epstein. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you know it, another guy accused of being a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: disgusting diddler. Maybe the silver lining from him dying on
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Monday night is that the investigating judge gets a sign
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: more quickly in the Gerald Marie case, Fang said. Syed
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was the second Epstein associate to die yesterday. before French
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: investigators could question him, BBC News reported. And yo, one
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: time around? Okay, maybe a coincidence. Two times now? I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: have some doubts. But even if it was a situation
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: where they both took their own lives, what does that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: tell you about what they know, what they're scared of,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: what they don't want to say? Tells me a whole lot.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel was found hanged in a Paris prison.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in 2022 while awaiting trial on rape and sex trafficking charges.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: An important link in the chain has just vanished into
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: thin air, without there ever being a chance to recover
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the information Daniel Syed might have possessed, and given that
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he was never questioned, a former model who gave a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: deposition to French police in June told the BBC, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that's really what it comes down to, when you have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: somebody like Daniel Syed, who ends up dying mysteriously, Directly
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: after he's been named in the Epstein files, people are
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: going to have questions, right? And now, of course, there's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: going to be an autopsy. There's going to be an investigation.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And we're going to be asked to accept whatever results
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they come up with. And look, I'm not saying we
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: should just out of hand not accept results. We should.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: If there's some concrete evidence, then yeah, that should be accepted.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: My problem is that we never get concrete evidence. Instead,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: we get more stories. We get more bullshit. And it
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: ends up leading to something like this. And then, of course,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: everything that Daniel Syed might know or might have known
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is gone. So that's one more piece of a puzzle,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: one more link of the chain that we're not going
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to have access to. And that makes things much harder.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: The less information we have, the harder it's going to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: be to put the pieces together. The idea is to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have as much context as possible. And when a guy
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: like Daniel Syed dies, well, that context dies with him.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So I think Katie Fang's onto something here. And there's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: no reason that the DOJ shouldn't release the files that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: are in different languages. Unfortunately, what they should do and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: what they will do are two very different things. So
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: as we get more information from this investigation and we
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: find out more about the passing of Daniel Syed, we'll
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: get that added to the catalog. All the information that
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
