Several survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sent written statements to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary opposing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination to take on the role permanently, citing what they see as his mishandling of files related to the investigation of Epstein’s crimes.

The family of Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein accusers who died by suicide last year, as well as survivors Jess Michaels and Liz Stein, sent statements to be read during Blanche’s confirmation hearing before the panel, which is set to take place this week.
