Blanche’s Epstein Meeting Fallout | San Francisco News

Acting AG Todd Blanche’s long-awaited meeting with Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers became a political flashpoint, with Senator Thom Tillis holding it as a key condition for confirming Blanche. Blanche, who’s led the Justice Department since April, said he’d tried to meet accusers earlier but schedules clashed — the meeting was later rescheduled for Thursday. He insisted the department always meets with victims and investigates any crime, no matter who’s involved. Still, accusers like Dani Bensky claimed they were ignored, despite repeated attempts to reach Blanche. Blanche countered that over thirty accuser representatives were consulted during the review of millions of Epstein files — a task complicated by redaction errors and staggered releases that fueled conspiracy theories. Though he took responsibility for mistakes, Blanche defended the department’s efforts amid ongoing political pressure and public scrutiny over the Epstein case.
