The ultimatum that Blanche meet with Epstein survivors came from North Carolina Republican Senator Tom Tillis, whose vote is critical for Blanche's nomination to advance.
Hours later, Blanche found time to sit down with a group of Epstein's victims who had been trying for months to arrange just such a meeting.

One survivor, Annie Farmer, said Blanche was abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal in the meeting.
And she, like other Epstein victims, urged senators to reject Blanche's nomination to lead the Justice Department.
