Republican senator says Blanche must meet Epstein's accusers to earn his vote for attorney general

A Republican senator has stated that Todd Blanche must meet with Jeffrey Epstein's accusers before he will support Blanche's nomination as attorney general. Blanche needs the senator's vote to advance from the Senate Judiciary Committee, and an accuser claimed he did not respond to requests for a meeting. Blanche has asserted that officials have spoken with over 30 representatives of the victims during a review of Epstein's case.
