Todd Blanche’s botched release of the Epstein Files outed survivors while protecting predators. 35,000+ Americans see this for what it is. Absolutely disqualifying.

Sen. SCHIFF: Is it appropriate for a president to call on the Attorney General to prosecute enemies? Former Republican attorney general: He is in charge of enforcing the law. Schiff: You don’t seem to have a problem with that, do you? AG: That includes his enemies.

Sen. BOOKER: Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell. She was transferred to minimum security. Does that happen? Former DOJ pardon attorney: It’d be a violation of DOJ’s rules. Booker: How do you feel? Epstein survivor: It’s devastating for survivors. Booker: It’s insulting.

Sen. TILLIS: I have not made a final decision. Todd Blanche said he’d meet with the Epstein survivors if it could be arranged. I expect that meeting to occur before I’m willing to vote him out of committee. There should be no reason why he wouldn’t.

Epstein survivor: We talk about Todd Blanche’s credentials. As a career prosecutor, he should be salivating. This case is gold. 6 million files and thousands of victims. Durbin: Why won’t he meet with you? Survivor: Reputational harm.

Epstein survivor: Todd Blanche’s actions have destroyed survivors’ trust. He spent nine hours with Ghislaine Maxwell, but he didn’t spend even nine minutes meeting with a survivor.

Former DOJ pardon attorney: I had great hope Todd Blanche would be a responsible steward of the Justice Department. He quickly proved me wrong. I declined to rubberstamp a political favor for a friend of Donald Trump, and it cost me my job.

Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.

Sen. DURBIN: I'll never forget Todd Blanche’s hearing yesterday. He was asked if he’d meet with Epstein’s victims. In my office, he said yes. In the hearing, he said no. I met with them. I’ll never forget it. No member of the Senate should vote for him if they met with survivors.

Dani Bensky is a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse. She tried multiple times to have her information redacted from the Epstein Files. Todd Blanche’s failure retraumatized her.

Liz Oyer was the nonpartisan pardon attorney at the Justice Department. She was wrongfully fired by Todd Blanche for not doing Trump’s bidding. Todd Blanche will always put Trump before YOU.

Brother of Virginia Giuffre: Survivors deserve answers, not silence. If the goal is justice, if the goal is identifying everyone responsible for exploiting children, why wouldn't you do everything possible to help uncover the truth and hold every perpetrator accountable?
