Two of the world's most notorious sex predators are feted in Washington by one of Trump's top aides and no one blinks an eye
U.S. attorney general wannabe Todd Blanche finally sat down with Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors on July 16. He didn’t do this because he wanted to lay the groundwork to re-open an investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking network — or to even acknowledge that the victims deserved to be heard.
He only met with them because he was forced to by a Republican senator who told Blanche he wouldn’t approve his appointment as U.S. attorney general unless he did so.
A year ago, Blanche, one of our nation’s top federal prosecutors who also worked as a personal attorney for President Donald Trump, met for nine hours with Epstein’s lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell, chatting with her as if they were longtime friends. Blanche then promptly transferred the convicted child sex trafficker from a maximum-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, to a much more comfy prison camp in Texas where she gets such niceties as puppy play dates and private meetings with her family.
Yet neither he, nor his predecessor, former attorney general Pam Bondi, would give Maxwell and Epstein’s victims the time of day.
