US Representative Madeleine Dean challenged Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over what Dean described as three million additional Epstein-related documents at a House Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. She questioned why records she said she had seen at the Department of Justice were not available to the public.
The exchange followed the department's release of more than three million additional pages related to Jeffrey Epstein. Dean disputed Blanche's claim that it had complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and linked the records dispute to President Donald Trump's denial that he had flown on Epstein's plane.
