The latest release of millions of items from the Jeffrey Epstein files sharpened a public reckoning but also deepened the recurring tragedy of his victims. “We need to separate those two ideas, the fact that there’s the Epstein files and whether there’s anybody there that we can go after,” Blanche told CNN’s Dana Bash. Trump and Clinton both deny knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and neither stands accused of any wrongdoing around those past connections. It’s doing little to deliver justice or closure to victims whom Epstein trafficked or abused as young women and who have bravely shared stories of their trauma. Jonathan Ernst/ReutersKhanna said survivors were upset by the accidental release of some victims’ names and want all the files released.
