For us, this has never been about politics,\u201d Bensky said through tears. \u201cIt has been about getting justice for the crimes committed against us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTodd Blanche has never attempted to listen to us, the crime victims. Survivors in this room repeatedly asked to meet with Todd Blanche through multiple channels; he never responded,\u201d Bensky said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday, he said he would meet with us with our attorneys if they were present, but let\u2019s be clear, that was the first time that was ever communicated to us. Before yesterday, he simply ignored us,\u201d Bensky continued. \u201cFor the last eight months, he\u2019s been radio silent, and the silence was deafening.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3634\">MAGA Doctor Calls BS on Mitch McConnell\u2019s Health Story<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When Blanche appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, he was repeatedly grilled about whether he would meet with the survivors of the late pedophile while some of the survivors were in the room. <\/p>\n<p>Ranking Member Dick Durbin noted that 10 survivors were at the confirmation hearing and asked Blanche, under oath, whether he would sit down with them personally and hear their cases within the next 30 days. <\/p>\n<p>The acting attorney general first tried to pass the task off to a person in his office in charge of the task force investigating human trafficking. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill you meet with these ten survivors?\u201d Durbin pressed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they have lawyers. As you know, I\u2019m prohibited from meeting directly with them. I have met with the counsel for survivors, as has many people in the Department of Justice,\u201d Blanche claimed. \u201cIf they are represented by counsel, we will work with their counsel. If they don\u2019t have a lawyer, I will certainly make arrangements to make sure the right people at the Department of Justice meet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In that same confirmation hearing, Blanche turned heads when he also referred to himself as Trump\u2019s lawyer before correcting himself and claiming he was the president\u2019s former lawyer. Blanche previously worked as his personal criminal defense attorney before joining the administration. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has repeatedly blasted the continued focus on Epstein, his former known associate, as a \u201choax\u201d by Democrats, even as his own vice president, JD Vance, admitted in a podcast interview released on Wednesday that the administration mishandled the release of Epstein documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould you say that Mr. Blanche exhibits a dismissive attitude toward all of you and then the Epstein crimes?\u201d Democratic Sen.
