Annie Farmer, a survivor of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, is urging the US Senate to reject Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche.
Her call follows a private meeting with the former criminal defense lawyer.

Farmer met with Blanche alongside other victims of Epstein, who had socialized with Trump for nearly two decades before his death in custody.
“After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States’ Attorney General,” Farmer said.
She expressed deep disappointment with Blanche's conduct during their discussion, contrasting his private demeanor with his public testimony.
“I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors – a marked contrast to his public testimony during his confirmation hearing,” Farmer stated.

According to Farmer, Blanche refused to commit to an inquiry into why her sister Maria Farmer’s 1996 report went uninvestigated.
He also declined to release documents related to internal discussions about charging Epstein.
Farmer criticized Blanche's explanations for his nine-hour interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and her subsequent transfer to a less secure facility, calling them “wholly dissatisfactory and contrived.”
“His evasiveness felt like a deliberate attempt to claim the Attorney General’s office is powerless in this matter,” she said.

“By passing the buck once again, he is leaving survivors trapped in the same endless loop of searching for answers and receiving none.”
