Epstein survivors again urge senators not to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general
Survivors cite Blanche’s handling of Epstein records and say he was abrasive in a meeting tied to Sen. Thom Tillis’ vote.
- Annie Farmer and other Epstein survivors are urging senators to reject Blanche's nomination for attorney general, following their July 16 meeting which left them convinced he is unsuitable.
- Journalist Katie Phang sued the Justice Department under the Epstein Files Transparency Act after the agency failed to produce records, prompting Judge Emmet Sullivan to order Blanche to unredact documents.
- Blanche filed a response instead of documents, dismissing Phang's sanctions argument as "absurd," while the Justice Department faces scrutiny for staffing shortages and filing a document with a "DRAFT" watermark.
- On Tuesday, two dozen survivors formally wrote to legislators describing Blanche as abrasive and condescending, solidifying opposition after Thom Tillis conditioned his support on the July 16 meeting.
- Phang continues pressing for sanctions of $1,000 a day against the Justice Department as Blanche faces mounting pressure from survivors and legal challenges over his transparency record regarding Epstein files.
