Blanche hit with major Epstein accusation as he's accused of witness tampering [View all]

A Democratic lawmaker hurled a major allegation at Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday, one they said amounted to “witness tampering” in the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Blanche was nominated by President Donald Trump on Monday to serve as permanent attorney general, and during an appearance on CNN, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) was asked whether Blanche’s handling of the Justice Department’s (DOJ) release of Epstein-related files would help or hurt his chances at being confirmed by the Senate.

Lynch poured cold water on Blanche’s chances – calling him “unqualified and untrustworthy” – while also leveling the allegation that Blanche had “interfered” with the criminal probe into Epstein’s potential co-conspirators.
