Epstein survivor presses senators as Todd Blanche faces DOJ vote
What's new: Dani Bensky said DOJ file releases exposed her name, phone number and former addresses, and she said Blanche never met with survivors.
Epstein survivor Dani Bensky urged senators weighing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination to focus on victims after she testified at his Senate confirmation hearing. Bensky, speaking before the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Justice Department releases tied to Jeffrey Epstein exposed survivors' private information, including her own name, phone number and former addresses. She said the errors were repeated and that requests from survivors and lawyers for protection went unanswered. Blanche has defended his handling of the files, acknowledging redaction mistakes but saying staff moved quickly to fix them. He also told senators the department had spoken with representatives for victims and invited survivors with information to meet with the FBI.
