Blanche’s Nomination and the Epstein Fallout | Boise News
Description
Acting AG Todd Blanche inches closer to permanent leadership as two key Republicans back his nomination—on the condition he kills the controversial “anti-weaponization” fund, which could have paid Jan. 6 rioters. Cornyn and Tillis say Blanche’s sworn testimony confirms the fund is dead, with Tillis calling it an “insult” to police and January 6 defenders. But Democrats push back: Whitehouse calls Blanche’s promises “decorative,” while DOJ says they’re untrue—Blanche already signed a retroactive rescission order. Outside the Senate, Epstein survivors slam Blanche for mishandling their files, accusing him of exposing identities and interrupting them during a meeting. Meanwhile, Democracy Forward sues, demanding a legally binding oath—not just a social media post—that the fund is truly defunct.
