Sen Durbin Demands Maxwell Tapes And Pardon Info

Sen. Dick Durbin, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is not fooling around. Last week, he demanded answers from Donald Trump’s Department of Justice about information that it had arranged for the FBI to go through the department’s approximately 100,000 Epstein records and flag any that mentioned President Trump.

On Tuesday, Durbin asked, on the Senate floor, “What is it that is in these files that is so frightening to the president, the White House, the Department of Justice and the Republican leadership in Congress?” That's what we all want to know.

We all deserve to know, Durbin acknowledged. Specifically, Durbin now wants to see a transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's very suspicious two-day prison interview with Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein's sex-trafficking of minors. “We don’t know what was said, but we should,” Durbin added.

Durbin has also written to Blanche demanding that information.
