Senator Thom Tillis conditions his vote for Todd Blanche's attorney general confirmation on a meeting with Epstein survivors.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis stated he will not vote to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general unless Blanche meets with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse. The demand came during the second day of Blanche's confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Blanche's confirmation faces a narrow path with an 11-10 Republican majority on the committee following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham.
