The Justice Department on Aug. 22, 2025 released the full, redacted transcripts and audio of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s two‑day interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, a move the Department said was taken “in the interest of transparency” after intense public pressure over the handling of the Epstein files. The extraordinary disclosure — covering interviews from July 24 and 25 — gave Americans a rare window into what a high‑profile, federally supervised proffer looks like and forced the mainstream narrative to reckon with the facts on the record.
The transcripts show Maxwell repeatedly denying any knowledge of or participation in inappropriate behavior by President Trump, telling prosecutors she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way,” remarks that should have been front‑page news for weeks. For conservatives who have long argued that accusations deserve evidence, Maxwell’s on‑the‑record denials reinforced the need to let facts, not media hysteria, drive the conversation.
On The Record with Greta Van Susteren, Rep. Jim Jordan took a measured line — saying he would leave the Maxwell matter to the Department of Justice while also pointing out that the DOJ’s own materials appear to undermine the worst political attacks. That restraint is welcome from a House leader who understands the difference between political theater and lawful process; Jordan rightly refused to turn an unresolved file into a witch hunt.
Conservative patriots should applaud both the release of the documents and Jordan’s insistence on letting the appropriate authorities handle what remains a legal matter, not a cable‑TV circus. But applause must be paired with vigilance: transparency without accountability is meaningless, and the DOJ must now prove it will follow the evidence wherever it leads — including to anyone who covered for predators or took part in corrupt coverups.
Meanwhile, the left‑wing media’s reflexive attempt to milk every loose association into a scandal has exposed its agenda more than any individual’s alleged misconduct ever could. Americans deserve a thorough, victim‑centered investigation into Epstein’s network, not endless partisan grandstanding that treats innuendo as indictment and ignores the basic presumption of innocence for those the papers want to destroy.
Congressional Republicans must now use the tools they have — subpoenas, oversight hearings, and tough, law‑based scrutiny — to ensure the DOJ finishes its work and that the American people see the full facts. Jim Jordan is right to insist on process; conservatives should stand firm behind him while demanding results, because the fight for truth and justice is what safeguards our republic and protects the innocent.
