Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche bombarded the Sunday shows, stirring up various questions.
He spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash about how they released millions of pages of the Epstein files and were still looking into it.

But beyond that, he said, “we have prosecuted more sex traffickers, more child pornographers, more men who harmed children and young women, than any administration in history.” »
Bash looks empty. If a member of the Biden administration had just told her that, she would probably encourage them.
Meanwhile, it was the Biden team that didn’t care about human trafficking due to their failed border policy.
We reported how Team Trump found 145,000 children who went missing under Team Biden. Here’s an HHS whistleblower explaining the huge difference this administration has made in stopping ongoing trafficking.

What have the Democrats done? Attacking the administration and encouraging protests against ICE, which has aided efforts to remove predators.

Blanche also hit ABC with George Stephanopoulos, who asked about the Minnesota church storming and the arrest of former CNN media personality Don Lemon.

While an appeals court threw out the arrest warrant for Lemon, Blanche noted that one of the judges believed there was probable cause (in a concurring opinion), but that, in any case, the grand jury indictment laid out all the facts in issuing an indictment against Lemon and other defendants.

“No one in this country should feel comfortable barging into a church while it’s in progress and disrupting the church service thinking we’re just going to stand by and let this happen,” Blanche said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a former CNN reporter,” Blanche explained. “You’re not allowed to do that.”
