سياسة · Senate blocks pardon · الأرشيفمجلس الشيوخ يعارض بالإجماع العفو عن ماكسويل، ما يعرّض ترشيح بلانش لمنصب المدعي العام للخطركُتب 7 سبتمبر 2026 في 9:22 م UTCشاهدالنص المفرّغ0:00The Senate has unanimously passed a0:01resolution stating that Ghislaine0:03Maxwell should not receive a0:04presidential pardon. The vote came just0:06one day before the Senate Judiciary0:08Committee was scheduled to vote on Todd0:10Blanche's nomination for Attorney0:11General, and that committee vote has now0:13been postponed. The resolution passed0:15without a single dissenting vote, and0:17the postponement of the committee vote0:19highlights the immediate political0:20fallout. Senator Cornyn's opposition0:22stems from his demand that the White0:24House kill a $1.8 billion0:26anti-weaponization fund, a guarantee he0:29says he has not received. Meanwhile,0:31Epstein survivors are directly lobbying0:33senators, pointing to Blanche's meeting0:35with Ghislaine Maxwell last year as0:37evidence of compromised judgment. That0:39meeting, now under renewed scrutiny, has0:42become a focal point for critics. The0:43nomination could face a full Senate vote0:45as early as Monday with the August0:47recess fast approaching, but without0:49Cornyn's support and the White House0:51assurance, the path remains uncertain.0:53The central question remains, will the0:55White House guarantee to withdraw the0:57fund and secure enough votes to confirm0:59Blanche, or will the nomination sink1:01under the weight of the Epstein1:02connection?اقرأ المقالالتسلسل الزمني للقصةHeyDexالمقطع القصير ↗
