"In a matter of weeks, he wrote, U.K. investigators have investigated and arrested a former prince [Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor] and a lord [Peter Mandelson], carried out searches, and conducted extensive questioning. By contrast, Honig said, It's not even clear the DoJ is doing anything at all."
"The DoJ has dutifully adopted [President Donald] Trump's recommended approach, Honig wrote, describing it as myopia blended with dissembling and a pinch of proactive excuse-making."
"Congress is putting powerful people on the spot, something the DOJ has yet to do, noting the absence of search warrants, no subpoenas, no interviews with key players, no arrests."
CNN's Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig criticized the Department of Justice for falling behind both British authorities and Congress in investigating figures connected to Jeffrey Epstein. British officials have quickly moved on leads from released Epstein files, resulting in arrests and extensive questioning of high-profile individuals within weeks. The DOJ, by contrast, shows no clear investigative activity. Honig highlighted dismissive remarks from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and characterized the DOJ's approach as myopic and evasive. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has issued aggressive subpoenas and questioned powerful figures like billionaire Les Wexner. The DOJ has conducted no search warrants, subpoenas, interviews with key players, or arrests related to the Epstein investigation.
