Survivor Danielle Bensky voices concern over DOJ’s delay in releasing Epstein files

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The Jeffrey Epstein survivors are eagerly waiting for the release of all the files as the deadline for the Department of Justice approaches.

As per the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act', signed by Donald Trump last month, the DOJ has till 11.59 pm on Friday, December 19, to release all materials related to Jeffrey Epstein.

However, hours before the deadline, Danielle Bensky, a survivor of Epstein, told Ana Cabrera of 'MS Now' that she was “nervous” about Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying that they would continue to release the files in the coming weeks. 

Danielle Bensky reacts to Todd Blanche’s statements 

Hours before the deadline, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told ‘Fox News’ that the DOJ might not release all of the materials on Friday.

He said that they were going to release “several hundred thousand documents” but expected to release more over the “next couple of weeks.”

Reacting to the same, Bensky said that Blanche’s statements made her “really nervous.” She added that the survivors hoped to see everything on Friday, but did not think it was realistic. 

She added that she was “not the most hopeful” but hoped that she was wrong and termed the feeling “nerve-wracking.” 

Danielle Bensky describes the 'weight of anticipation'

Danielle Bensky said that she felt a “weight of anticipation” that came with waiting for the whole ordeal to be over.

Bensky said that it had brought on “a lot of anxiety” and tension, and that the only thing she could compare it to was giving birth.

“Because you just never know, the Go bag is packed,” she joked.

She added that it felt like it was time, but the survivors didn’t know what they would see when the Epstein Files are finally released. 

Later in the interview, she said that “it retraumatizes,” but the survivors understood that it was important that it didn’t happen again.
