Testifying at his confirmation hearing to become Attorney General, Todd Blanche said he had not met with any of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors, several of whom were in the room, and offered to have an assistant meet with them instead. That answer landed badly with senators of both parties. Today, Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Hawk plays her testimony.
North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis is now threatening to block the nomination unless Blanche meets personally with survivors within a day or two. The committee splits 11 Republicans to 10 Democrats, so a single Republican no vote stops it from reaching the floor, and Tillis says the earliest vote is roughly two weeks out. John Cornyn has separately voiced concerns over the settlement fund. Hawk is skeptical either will follow through.
Bensky's testimony covers the January release of Epstein files in which, despite assurances about protecting identities, hundreds of victims were reportedly named and some addresses left unredacted. Hawk contrasts Blanche making time for two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, and her subsequent transfer to a minimum security facility, against never responding to a survivor.
