Epstein survivors speak at Todd Blanche confirmarion hearing

President Trump's pick for Attorney General Todd Blanche getting a second look from senators today. As Mike Emanuel reports, senators heard from those who've already been impacted by Blanche's time at the Justice Department. Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche did not testify on day two of his confirmation hearing. Instead, lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee heard from witnesses to his character. Todd Blanche has never attempted to listen to us. Epstein survivor Danny Bensky represented victims of the late accused sex trafficker who say they've been ghosted by Blanche's Justice Department. Mr. Blanche spent approximately nine hours meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. He did not even spend nine minutes meeting with the survivor. The committee also heard from Jennifer Boss, an Illinois mother whose daughter went missing for weeks before her body was found on the property of an illegal immigrant. Victims don't care about partisan victories. We care whether the dangerous criminals and drug traffickers and cartels are stopped before another loved one is buried and another family's life is shattered. It came a day after Blanche faced a grilling over Epstein, the DOJ's since scrapped weaponization fund, and his past as Trump's personal lawyer. Whether he has the votes to move forward is still up in the air, with some Republicans expressing reservations. I have not made a final decision. But Mr. Blanche said very quickly yesterday that he would meet with the victims. I expect that meeting to occur before I'm willing to vote out of this committee. With the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, Republicans only have one seat advantage on the Judiciary Committee, meaning just a single GOP defection could sink Blanche's nomination.
