A top Department of Justice (DOJ) official said Sunday that there would be no new criminal charges filed in connection to the agency’s release of a massive tranche of files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“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,” Deputy Attorney General Blanche told CNN'S “State of the Union” on Sunday.
