Being mentioned or photographed in the Epstein files is not enough to suggest wrongdoing.
Blanche also called on people to temper their focus on Donald Trump and said that, though he is mentioned more than 1,000 times in the documents, many of the allegations involving Trump came from anonymous tips or unverifiable sources.He added: “It turns out, there was a number of claims made by either … anonymous people or somebody, for example, calling and saying, ‘I used to have a roommate who told me this sensational story.’
« So just, you know, obviously that’s not something that can be really investigated, right? ‘What’s your roommate’s name? I don’t remember,’ So that’s what that’s about.”
Trump has previously denied any knowledge of Epstein’s sex crimes and claimed that his relationship with Epstein had soured.
In a statement shared when the files were made public, the US Justice Department reiterated Trump’s denial of these accusations.
The statement said: “Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. »
Jay-Z’s name has come up in some of the documents released as part of the Epstein Files.
Another batch of files in the Epstein case have been released by the Department of Justice this week, and the millions of pages mention several recognisable names, including US presidents Donald Trump as well as Bill Clinton, and even rapper Jay-Z.
Among the documents is a report dated to October 2019 concerning Jeffrey Epstein, described as a file on ‘child sex trafficking’. In the horrible report, the victim, whose identifying details were redacted for legal reasons, described how she had allegedly been abused by ‘Jeffrey Epstein and others’ in the early 1990s.
It described ‘parties’, and the victim had contacted the FBI and had ‘described the abuse occurred in parties’. She alleges in the document that she was sexually abused by Epstein, as well as other people, claims that she was abducted, and believes that she was drugged.Jay-Z is mentioned in the documents as having been present on one occasion after the victim was abducted.
