A GOP Senator who demanded Todd Blanche meet Epstein survivors in exchange for his support ended up canceling his own meeting with the women before he caved to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The extraordinary snub was recounted by survivors ahead of Tuesday\u2019s crucial vote to advance Blanche\u2019s nomination to be the next Attorney General.<\/p>\n

\n

For days, the survivors of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had hoped that two Republicans, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, would not vote in favor of Blanche, whose handling of the Epstein files has been under scrutiny for months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Both had initially held out due to concerns about the $1.8 billion \u201canti-weaponization\u201d slush fund Blanche helped create for the president. Tillis had also demanded Blanche meet with Epstein survivors to garner support for his nomination.<\/p>\n

But in a statement on Tuesday morning, the group said that Blanche\u2019s attitude at the meeting made it clear that this was a \u201ccheck the box\u201d exercise to appease Tillis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we met with Todd, Blanche, he interrupted us. He told us to \u2018get to the point\u2019. He told us to report what happened to us to the FBI. We already have. Some of us have been reporting these crimes for decades,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

However, they said that \u201cthe treatment we received from Senators throughout this process was just as revealing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Tillis publicly invited us on camera to come to his office and promise to meet with us. We did. We waited for 45 minutes in his lobby, only to be told by a staff member that he would not meet with us after all,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Cornyn also refused to hear directly from survivors before casting his vote. Senator Tillis and Cornyn were not willing to sit across from us and answer for the vote they were preparing to cast. If they believed they were doing the right thing they should have had the courage to look survivors in the eye and tell us why. The message was unmistakable: they wanted us to go away.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast has asked Tillis for a response to the statement, which was signed by 18 survivors of Epstein, including Dani Bensky, Ashley Rubright, Jess Michaels, Liz Stein, and the family of the late Virginia Guiffre.<\/p>\n

Cornyn, meanwhile, said that what happened to the women was a \u201ctragedy,\u201d but \u201cI don\u2019t believe there\u2019s anything we could do to assuage them at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to continue to help them every we can; I just think that\u2019s one of those things that cannot be remedied by a \u2018no\u2019 vote,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Both Senators appeared at Tuesday\u2019s hearing to cast their vote in favor of Blanche, a day after securing what they believed was a significant concession from the administration: the formal cancellation of a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund and written assurances narrowing tax audit protection included in Trump\u2019s settlement with the IRS.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But the victory lap was immediately overshadowed by criticism that a controversial agreement shielding Trump, his family and his businesses from IRS scrutiny remains. The only difference is that it now applies proactively, rather than serving as a blanket safeguard against all future audits.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, all parties, including Trump, are also required to sign the latest agreement in order for it to be fully rescinded. That has not yet happened.<\/p>\n

This has fueled accusations that Cornyn and Tillis effectively caved, allowing Trump to move forward with Blanche\u2019s nomination while leaving the president with one of the settlement\u2019s most controversial benefits.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Tuesday\u2019s Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, Tillis said he was satisfied the slush fund had been rescinded, and noted that \u201cweaponization\u201d of the Justice Department was not just a problem for one party alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody has this view that they are as pure as the driven snow and it\u2019s the other side that has a problem. I think we both have a problem, folks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

Cornyn also said he expected the DOJ to adhere to the terms of their deal and it was \u201chighly unlikely\u201d the slush fund could be revived in the future.<\/p>\n
