This week, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse carried their testimony to the halls of the Senate, urging lawmakers to reject Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general. At the center of their effort was Dani Bensky, who challenged not merely Blanche's qualifications but the very credibility upon which legal authority rests. Their presence on Capitol Hill reflects a recurring human struggle: whether those most harmed by broken institutions can shape the hands that rebuild them.
