Epstein survivors and Republican senators oppose Todd Blanche's attorney general confirmation.
Two dozen Epstein survivors sent a letter to Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn urging them to vote against confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general, calling a recent meeting with survivors a 'box-checking exercise.' Sen. Cornyn also expressed dissatisfaction with Blanche's written responses regarding a $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund and a tax immunity deal benefiting President Trump. Both Cornyn and Tillis could individually block Blanche's confirmation in the Senate Judiciary Committee given Republicans' slim majority.
