Latest News About Lawmakers and advocates rally against Blanche acting AG amid controversy

Senate Judiciary Democrats on Monday called an Epstein victim to show up before the committee and and respond to questions about Todd Blanche’s conduct.

Survivor groups unveiled a public notice the same day, calling on senators against voting for his nomination for attorney general.

Blanche, who is serving as acting attorney general, confronts an uncertain path to a permanent appointment as a pivotal confirmation hearing approaches.

A Bloomberg report listed 19 still pending questions about his tenure, and a recent judge’s ruling singled out the controversy as a threat to his confirmation.

The growing pressure from lawmakers and survivor advocates adds new hurdles to Blanche’s bid for the highest justice role.
