What Blanche said about Trump, Epstein files during confirmation hearing for attorney general

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for his confirmation hearing. During the proceedings, Blanche faced rigorous questioning and attempted to demonstrate his independence from President Donald Trump, specifically addressing comments regarding Trump and the Epstein files. While the committee grilled the nominee, at least one key Senator remains undecided on the appointment. The hearing marks a critical step in Blanche's narrow path toward official confirmation as Attorney General.
