Bondi and Blanche Carry Epstein Conflicts of Interest; still Control the Case from Inside DOJ
A sitting Deputy Attorney General—formerly Donald Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer—quietly paid a personal visit to Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted child sex trafficker and gatekeeper of Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail empire. We have no idea what they discussed. No official explanation. Just a closed-door meeting between one of the most powerful law enforcement officials in the country and a woman who holds the keys to a global network of elite abusers. If that doesn’t raise alarm bells, nothing will.
Epstein Justice Home – Epstein Justice
How do we know they weren’t just getting their stories straight? It’s a legitimate question when one examines all the conflicts and appearances of conflicts of interest involving Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. As Florida AG, Bondi had the opportunity to prosecute Epstein but chose not to, according to Robert Jarvis, a law professor from Nova Southeastern University.
Investigative journalist and Epstein expert Nick Bryant is raising urgent questions following the recent, under-the-radar visit by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Blanche, once Donald Trump’s personal criminal defense attorney, was quietly confirmed earlier this year to the number two position at the Department of Justice—after previously defending Trump in his hush money trial and leading a legal team that often blurred the lines between defense and distraction. Now, as Deputy AG, Blanche’s personal visit to Maxwell—who is still sitting on untold volumes of sealed evidence, including blackmail material and client lists—deserves far more scrutiny than it’s receiving.
What possible legitimate reason could a sitting Deputy Attorney General, with such an overt conflict of interest, have to personally meet with the woman at the center of the Epstein-Maxwell child sex trafficking operation? Why is there no public record or statement regarding the content of that meeting? And why are top officials in the Biden-to-Trump transition period still keeping the lid tightly sealed on what was once the most high-profile criminal case in the country?
Nick Bryant, author of The Franklin Scandal and one of the few journalists with deep-source access to the Epstein case files, is available for interviews to shed light on this disturbing development. He has been tracking the evolution of elite protection networks that extend across administrations and agencies and sees the Blanche-Maxwell meeting as a potential flashpoint in the broader effort to keep Epstein’s client network buried forever.
Bryant can speak directly to the DOJ’s failure to act on leads tied to powerful individuals, including those listed in the “little black book,” as well as why the Blanche visit may indicate renewed pressure—not for truth, but for silence. He can also contextualize how media complicity and bipartisan protection rackets have defanged this case at every turn.
This is not just a story about Epstein and Maxwell. This is about institutional rot, unprosecuted power, and the continued shielding of elite sex traffickers and their enablers.
Let’s not wait another decade for the truth to surface. The public deserves to know what Blanche was doing behind closed doors with Ghislaine Maxwell.
He is available for interviews, expert panels, and commentary.

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist. He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.
But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.
The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally. I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity. In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.
His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
