Oh okay. So do you
think Todd should be held in contempt for refusing to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
Bots can't do that. You?
No -
A federal judge has given Attorney General
Todd Blanche a deadline of September 24, 2026,
to comply with orders regarding Jeffrey Epstein records,
warning that civil contempt remains an option if the Justice Department fails to meet the demands.
Whether Blanche should be held in contempt involves conflicting legal and public arguments:
Arguments Against Contempt / DOJ PositionProtecting Privacy and Victims: The DOJ has defended its redactions as necessary to safeguard the identities and personal information of abuse victims.
Pending Appeals: Blanche is actively appealing Judge Sullivan’s preliminary injunction in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, arguing that the district court's demands exceed proper legal authority while the appeal proceeds.
Premature Action:Judge Sullivan himself stated that finding the Attorney General in civil contempt is currently premature, choosing instead to set a strict compliance deadline and give the government time to respond or seek clarification.
