What happened

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met Thursday at Justice Department headquarters with Jeffrey Epstein survivors after Sen. Thom Tillis said he would not support Blanche’s attorney general nomination unless he heard from them. Tillis is a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Blanche needs Republican support to advance his nomination; a committee vote is expected July 30. Survivor Annie Farmer said Blanche "would not commit" to investigating her case, while another attendee said he told the room, "I'm just the attorney general."
