A federal judge says Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has effectively admitted to breaking the law. The claim centres on a court order demanding the Justice Department release unredacted files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including a long-buried memo on a drug trafficking and money laundering probe into the convicted sex offender.
Blanche has denied wrongdoing and defended his record before the Senate Judiciary Committee, even as a contempt motion and a Democratic senator's allegations pile pressure on his nomination to become permanent attorney general.
