Epstein survivors say the government keeps failing them, and the man set to run the Justice Department stonewalled them — bad news for the victims still seeking justice.

• Survivors met with Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer and now acting attorney general, and got what they called an hour of deflection and gaslighting.
• Blanche refused to apologize, reopen investigations, or make any commitments, and blamed the failures on the FBI — an agency he would control if confirmed.
• Earlier, Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell, who was then moved to a lower-security prison, raising suspicions of a quid pro quo to protect what Trump may be hiding.
• The Justice Department released only some Epstein files and redacted the abusers' names while leaving victims' names exposed, including model Rosa Gillis, who never wanted to go public.
• Two modeling scouts tied to the trafficking were found dead before facing trial, and no one beyond Epstein and Maxwell has been charged.

Outlook: Blanche still faces a full Senate confirmation vote, and survivors fear his approval would mean no other Epstein enablers are ever held accountable.
