Epstein survivors launch last-ditch effort to block Todd Blanche confirmation

Published Jul 29, 03:32 PM UTC

A group of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are going door-to-door on Capitol Hill to deliver printed copies of government files to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The survivors launched the 'Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Bookmobile' at a press conference on the National Mall, which will carry bound copies of all 3.5 million files to communities across the country during the midterm elections. The effort is a final push to urge the committee to reject acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation, which is set for a vote on Thursday. Survivors criticize Blanche for downplaying redaction errors that exposed their names while concealing alleged perpetrators, and for a recent meeting with victims that 'did not go well.' Blanche's confirmation is already in jeopardy, with two Republican lawmakers refusing to approve him unless he confirms the end of Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.'
