Tillis withholds Blanche vote until AG pick meets Epstein survivors

Outgoing Sen. Thom Tillis is putting a hold on confirming acting Attorney General Todd Blanche unless Blanche meets with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, signaling a potential significant roadblock for Blanche's confirmation. This move could stall the process if other Republicans follow suit, as even a single "no" vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee could prevent Blanche's nomination from moving forward. This situation highlights the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Epstein-related cases and the impact it has on current legal appointments.
