Blanche Whitewash: 3 Million Pages of Epstein Files Released, Deputy Attorney General says No Evidence
Someone in the Epstein files identified investigative journalist Nick Bryant as a problem as early as 2011, according to a newly released email in which someone (redacted) warned multiple recipients—some of them redacted—that Bryant was “calling around again.” That single line, buried inside the Justice Department’s recent release of roughly three million pages of Epstein-related documents, may be the most revealing detail in the entire trove. It establishes that [Redacted] viewed Bryant as a serious threat years before the case became a public scandal, and years before most of the media, political class, or law enforcement showed sustained interest in the network surrounding him.
Veteran investigative journalist and 20-year Epstein Expert Nick Bryant is available for interviews on this latest revelation. He is also the author of The Franklin Scandal: a Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal Bryant has referred to the Franklin Scandal as a “Carbon Copy” of the Epstein scandal.

That context makes Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s press conference announcing the document release all the more jarring. While Blanche presented the disclosure as a major act of transparency, he simultaneously conceded that none of Epstein’s clients, facilitators, or individuals who allegedly commissioned abuse through Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell will face prosecution or accountability. In practical terms, the Justice Department acknowledged that the three million pages would lead to no charges, no trials, and no justice for victims. The files may humiliate some, and they may further tarnish the reputations of a few deceased perpetrators, but they offer nothing that advances legal consequences for living participants in a global trafficking operation.
This contradiction lies at the heart of the story Bryant is uniquely positioned to tell. The document dump creates the appearance of openness while confirming that the Epstein case is, by design, closed. Names remain redacted. Key actors are shielded. Institutional failures are documented but never resolved. The scale of the release functions less as illumination than as insulation, overwhelming the public with volume while foreclosing any path to accountability.
The 2011 email naming Bryant is especially significant when placed alongside his investigative record. At the time [Redacted] flagged him as a problem, Bryant had not yet obtained the flight logs or the black book that would later become central to public understanding of Epstein’s operation. Those materials came roughly a year later, and even then, Bryant spent years attempting to publish them against intense resistance. They did not see the light of day until 2015, underscoring how aggressively the Epstein story was suppressed long after credible evidence existed.
Rather than undermining Bryant’s work, the newly released files vindicate it. They confirm that Epstein was tracking him early, that institutional barriers to exposure were real, and that the absence of prosecutions today is not the result of insufficient information, but of unwillingness to act. With more than fifteen years spent investigating Epstein and the system that protected him, Bryant is unmatched in his ability to explain why this case remains one of the most consequential—and unresolved—scandals of the modern era.

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and director of www.EpsteinJustice.com 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.
