Senate Judiciary Democrats on Monday summoned an Epstein victim to testify before the committee and and respond to questions about Todd Blanche’s conduct.
Survivor groups unveiled a PSA the same day, urging senators against voting for his nomination for attorney general.

The growing pressure from lawmakers and survivor advocates adds new hurdles to Blanche’s bid for the chief legal post.
