Epstein survivors call Blanche meeting a box-check, demand real accountability

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse describe attorney general nominee Todd Blanche's meeting with them as dismissive and unproductive, viewing it as a checkbox to secure votes for his confirmation. The DOJ disputes this, calling it a productive initial discussion, but survivors say Blanche avoided direct engagement and failed to address key concerns, complicating his path to Senate confirmation, which hinges on gaining support from Republicans like Sen. Tillis.
