Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that the Justice Department’s decision Saturday to remove more than a dozen photographs that were released as part of the files on Jeffrey Epstein had “nothing to do with President Trump” and came at the request of victim advocacy groups.
Blanche said the removed photographs included unredacted pictures of women and “will go back up” after Justice Department officials investigate whether they need to make further redactions.
One of the files included a photo of a tabletop covered by framed photos of Epstein with famous people. An open drawer on the tabletop included printed photos of Trump with women in bathing suits.
“We don’t have perfect information,” Blanche told moderator Kristen Welker. “When we hear from victims’ rights groups about this type of photograph, we pull it down and investigate. We’re still investigating that photo. The photo will go back up, and the only question is whether there will be redactions on the photo.”
