Todd Blanche Meets With Epstein Survivors Amid Nomination

Thomas Tillis said he would not support advancing Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination unless Blanche met with Epstein survivors. Blanche later met with survivors.

Left-leaning outlets connect Tillis’s condition to survivors’ reactions, with one emphasizing their criticism of Blanche and the meeting. Center outlets report Tillis’s condition and, in several stories, the meeting and differing assessments of it. Right-leaning outlets present the demand as a condition for advancing Blanche’s nomination and note that other Republican senators may affect its prospects.
