PoliticsA group of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are going door-to-door on Capitol Hill to deliver government files to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, urging them to reject acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation. 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 3.5 million files across the country during the midterm elections. The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote on Blanche's confirmation on Thursday. Survivors criticized Blanche for downplaying redaction errors that exposed survivor names while concealing alleged perpetrators, and for a recent meeting with victims that 'did not go well.' Blanche's confirmation is also in jeopardy from two Republican senators who refuse to approve him unless he confirms the end of Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.'
