"After the corrupt AG [Attorney General Todd Blanche] (trump's former personal lawyer) implied that he did not believe men accused of s-- abuse would be charged as a result of the epstein files — despite mountains of evidence, I called some Epstein survivors [and] asked them to sing with me," O'Donnell, 64, shared in a video posted to her Instagram on Thursday, September 3. "A powerful Helen Reddy song that taught me at 10 years old to use my voice."

The Department of Justice Faces Backlash Over Handling of Jeffrey Epstein Files
Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025.
More than 3.5 million of the roughly 6 million pages of the Epstein files have been released by the Department of Justice since late January.
In early February, Blanche, 52, who assumed the attorney general role following Pam Bondi's departure, defended the Department of Justice's decision not to consider additional charges related to Epstein amid the release of the files.

Todd Blanche was sworn in as attorney general on August 10, serving in an acting capacity since April.
"I can’t talk about any investigations, but I will say the following, which is that in July, the Department of Justice said that we had reviewed the files, the Epstein files, and there was nothing in there that allowed us to prosecute anybody," Blanche told CNN at the time. "The entire world can look at and see if we got it wrong."
Though he acknowledged "a lot of horrible photographs" that appear to be taken by the late s-- offender, the federal official added, "That doesn’t allow us necessarily to prosecute somebody."
