Política · Senate rejection urged · ArquivoQuatro sobreviventes de Epstein saíram do Departamento de Justiça chamando a reunião de encenaçãoEscrito 7 de setembro de 2026 às 21:22 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:00New accounts tonight from Epstein abuse0:01survivors who say they're meeting with0:03acting Attorney General Todd Blanche at0:05the Department of Justice left them0:06feeling demoralized, dismissed, and0:08gaslit. The meeting only happened0:10because one key Republican Senator made0:12it a condition for Blanche's0:13confirmation. And now survivors are0:16urging the Senate to reject him.0:17Survivors Liz Stein, Annie Farmer, Danny0:20Bensky, and Jess Michaels described the0:22meeting inside DOJ headquarters as0:24deeply disappointing. They say Blanche0:27was dismissive, condescending, and0:28noncommittal, talking around their0:30questions instead of giving straight0:31answers.0:32One of them called the experience0:34gaslighting. Survivors say they had only0:36limited notice to prepare for the0:37meeting, and that Blanche interrupted0:39them and deflected their direct0:40questions. The acting Attorney General,0:42they say, offered no concrete0:44commitments to further the investigation0:46into Epstein's network of enablers.0:48Blanche himself characterized the0:49meeting as productive and noted it was0:51not all cordial. But survivors say the0:54experience only deepened their distrust0:56of the Justice Department's handling of0:57the Epstein case. The meeting only0:59happened because of political leverage.1:01Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North1:03Carolina made a sit-down with survivors1:05a condition for his vote on Blanche's1:07confirmation. With the Senate Judiciary1:09Committee vote now scheduled for1:10tomorrow, July 23rd, survivors are1:12publicly urging Senators to reject the1:14nominee, and all eyes are on two key1:16undecided votes. Senator Tillis and1:18fellow Republican John Cornyn of Texas1:20remain uncommitted on the Blanche1:21nomination. Survivors are making a1:23direct appeal to both of them ahead of1:25tomorrow's committee vote. For the1:26survivors, this is about accountability,1:29not just for Epstein's victims, but for1:31everyone in his network who enabled1:32years of abuse. They say Blanche's1:34performance in that meeting proves he is1:36not the person to lead that effort. They1:38are now calling on Senators to vote no.Ler o artigoCronologia da históriaHeyDexO vídeo curto ↗
