Epstein survivor on Blanche assembly: ‘We have been gaslit’

A survivor of convicted intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein on Saturday stated she was “gaslit” throughout her meeting last week with performing Legal professional Basic Todd Blanche.

Jess Michaels informed MS NOW’s Alex Witt about this current assembly, together with different survivors, with Blanche. She stated that Blanche repeatedly denied that something within the Division of Justice’s information associated to Epstein may result in additional investigations.

“It felt like we have been hitting a brick wall once we have been attempting to speak with him about — however what about this?” Michaels stated. “However why can’t you have a look at that? You realize, we have been giving him data that he may have talked with us about, however we have been gaslit. We have been ignored. It was irritating, to say the least.”

Michaels stated Blanche took the assembly “as a result of he needs this promotion,” having initially informed lawmakers that he couldn’t legally meet with Epstein survivors. She stated the assembly was initially “handed off … together with his assistant” earlier than Blanche agreed to fulfill with them final Thursday.

“And I imply, I believe his try at empathy and compassion actually got here off as patronizing and condescending,” Michaels informed Witt. “So I didn’t really feel that he was a public servant there addressing crime victims that had that skilled horrific abuse.”
