Todd Blanche confirmation faces Senate risk over Epstein victim meeting demand — Senate risks Blanche nod

Republican support for Todd Blanche's nomination as U.S. attorney-general is coming under pressure as the Senate judiciary committee weighs his handling of requests from Jeffrey Epstein's victims. The dispute matters because Republicans hold only a razor-thin margin on the committee, making a single defection potentially decisive for the timing of Blanche's confirmation.

Highlights

Senator Thom Tillis conditions his crucial judiciary committee vote on Todd Blanche's confirmation upon Blanche meeting Epstein's victims, who report eight months of unanswered requests.
Blanche's prompt readiness to meet victims contrasts with Epstein victims' claims of zero contact, while Senate scrutiny intensifies over his prior meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Republicans' narrow committee majority, reduced further by Senator Lindsey Graham's death, amplifies Tillis's leverage and raises confirmation risk for Blanche.

Senate committee pressure builds

As reported by Financial Times, Senator Thom Tillis says his vote to advance Blanche's confirmation depends on whether the acting attorney-general meets Epstein's victims, who say their requests have gone unanswered for the past eight months.
