Todd Blanche Breaks Down How FBI Handles Anonymous Epstein Allegations

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday the Department of Justice reviewed how the FBI logged anonymous Jeffrey Epstein-related tips and determined the allegations lacking credibility did not warrant investigation.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released more than 3 million pages of Epstein files, including DOJ and FBI emails, interview summaries, images, videos, and other records. During an appearance “State of the Union With Jake Tapper and Dana Bash,” Blanche addressed Bash’s questions about a list the FBI compiled in August 2025 logging salacious, unverified accusations linked to Epstein.

“And what I think folks will see when they review the materials we released,” Blanche said, “is that there have been hundreds of calls made to the FBI where allegations are made by either anonymous individuals or people who are very quickly determined to not be credible, whether it’s the nature of what they’re saying or the fact they won’t provide any information or corroboration, and that’s part of the Epstein files.”

Blanche then explained the FBI memo compiled was not about President Donald Trump.

“So, look, it’s not about President Trump. It’s about a ton of people, multiple, multiple people that were — quote — ‘in the Epstein files,’” Blanche told Bash.
