## Resource

Senator Thom Tillis forced a pivotal moment in Todd Blanche’s Attorney General confirmation by demanding he meet with Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors before voting yes—setting a two-week deadline that pressured Blanche into agreeing to the meeting within a day, with lawyers present. Though the meeting happened, some survivors reportedly left disappointed, highlighting unresolved pain and the high stakes of political accountability. Tillis’s bold move underscored how individual senators can wield immense power to center victims’ voices in national leadership decisions.
