US senators grill Todd Blanche over ‘slush fund’ deal and Epstein files at Senate confirmation hearing

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faces Senate Judiciary Committee questions during his confirmation hearing over a 'slush fund' deal and Jeffrey Epstein-related files. Lawmakers, including Republicans, challenged the $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund and new information on Epstein's associates. The confirmation process is uncertain due to the committee's split and pending decisions from key senators.
