Epstein survivors urged the Senate to block Trump's attorney general pick Todd Blanche over his handling of the Epstein files. Blanche faces harsh questioning about his defense of Trump and potential conflicts of interest.
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse urged the Senate to block Todd Blanche's confirmation as attorney general, citing his handling of Epstein-related documents and his defense of Trump. Blanche faces questioning about potential conflicts of interest—namely, that his role as Trump's longtime attorney might interfere with his duty to enforce laws against Trump.
The Epstein angle is significant. If Blanche mishandled documents related to that case, it suggests a pattern of prioritizing Trump's interests over legal obligations. His entire career has been Trump defense work, which means his first loyalty is already established. An AG needs to be willing to recuse himself when the president breaks the law, and Blanche's history suggests that won't happen.
