Survivors Speak Out: DOJ's Handling of Epstein Case

Every day, Liz Stein relives the worst moment of her life. She shares her story with lawmakers and the media, demanding justice for herself and other survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. Stein and her fellow survivors have been urging senators to vote against Todd Blanche's confirmation as attorney general, citing his lack of urgency in expanding the Epstein investigation. Despite some initial pushback, Blanche cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee and was confirmed by a narrow margin.

Liz Stein's frustration with the Department of Justice is palpable. She feels that the DOJ is using the Epstein case for political gain, making her and other survivors feel like pawns in a game. Stein is determined to keep fighting, saying that every attempt to silence her and her fellow survivors has only strengthened their resolve. The Epstein cloud has hung over the Trump administration since the president's second term, with a series of perceived missteps by former Attorney General Pam Bondi.

In February 2025, Bondi claimed that her office would release new documents tied to Epstein, but instead handed out binders with no new information to right-wing social media influencers. The DOJ's "nothing to see here" attitude has been a constant source of frustration for Stein and her fellow survivors. They have called for investigations into Epstein's associates, no presidential pardons or concessions for Maxwell, and a full release of the Epstein files.
