Republican Senator Thom Tillis says he is 'not ready to vote yes' on US President Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, Todd Blanche, unless Blanche meets with survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within the next two weeks. Speaking during the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Tillis said he has a 'positive predisposition' toward Blanche but stressed that meeting with Epstein survivors is a key condition before he can support the nomination.

“This is a very important part of getting to yes” on approving Blanche’s nomination, Tillis said Thursday.
