Critics say Blanche, once a trusted colleague, now defends Trump in criminal cases and has fired investigators probing Trump and January 6 — eroding public trust. Epstein survivor Elizabeth Stein revealed her trauma after her personal details were exposed in the released files, accusing the department of betraying survivors. Blanche called the IRS deal “typical,” but former prosecutor Perry Carbone called its language “mind-boggling.” The nomination’s fate hinges on two wavering Republican senators, whom survivors are directly urging to reject Blanche and protect victims.
