Blanche says DOJ unable to investigate tips about Trump's involvement with Epstein [View all]

Source: The Hill

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that federal investigators are unable to investigate various tips the FBI received about President Trump’s alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

Blanche told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” that some tips were anonymous and relied on second-hand information, which he said is “not something that can be really investigated.”

Among the nearly 3 million additional documents related to the convicted sex offender the Department of Justice (DOJ) released on Friday are allegations about Trump and Epstein the FBI received as tips through its National Threat Operations Center.

Emails between DOJ staffers show that the tips were compiled as information from “Trump accusers” in August. Parts of the document show the FBI contacted many, but not all, of the initial callers, with some tipsters not leaving their information.
