'Isn't A Crime': Trump Official Gets Absolutely Roasted Over Epstein Party Defense
HuffPost
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's comments on Fox News were slammed on social media.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made a claim on Fox News on Monday that critics said could come back to haunt President Donald Trump and the Republican Party ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Blanche whether he would be prosecuting any of the people who partied with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as revealed in the newly released documents.
Blanche said he wouldn’t rule it out, then added a pretty big “but.”
“But, as you know, it is not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein,” he said. “It’s not a crime to email with Mr. Epstein.”
Blanche allowed that some of the men mentioned in the files may have done “horrible things,” and said the Justice Department would pursue charges if they have evidence. Then he circled back to the “but” one more time.
"Sorry, what was that?" one critic hit back at the president on social media.
