Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche faced a fiery confrontation with Sen. Cory Booker during his Senate confirmation hearing, with the New Jersey Democrat accusing him of prioritizing Ghislaine Maxwell over Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Booker questioned why Blanche declined to meet with Epstein survivors, citing Blanche's previous claim that he could not speak directly with represented victims. Calling that explanation "utter nonsense," Booker argued that legal arrangements could have been made to hear directly from survivors or their attorneys. The senator also highlighted Blanche's previous in-person meetings with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, saying he was "stunned" that Blanche was willing to meet Maxwell while refusing to meet those who say they were victimized by Jeffrey Epstein. The tense exchange unfolded as Blanche seeks Senate confirmation to become the nation's permanent Attorney General. #ToddBlanche #CoryBooker #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #DOJ #
