Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein told reporters they felt “gaslit” after meeting the new acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche during a widely watched session.

The session came after outrage over Blanche’s recent comments ruling out evidence of Epstein trafficking victims to other men that raised questions.

Donald Trump appointed Blanche last month after a caretaker period and has been hit with calls to resign that drew criticism over his handling of the case and his approach to justice.
