A top Justice Department official is playing down the possibility of additional criminal charges arising from the Jeffrey Epstein files. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on CNN on Sunday that the existence of “horrible photographs” and troubling email correspondence does not “allow us necessarily to prosecute somebody.” Department officials said over the summer that a review of records from Epstein investigations did not establish a basis for new criminal investigations, a position that Blanche said remains unchanged even as a massive document dump since Friday has focused fresh attention on his links to powerful individuals around the world and revived questions about what, if any, knowledge the wealthy financier’s contacts had about his crimes.
