Outgoing Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC) just hurled a wrench in the works as President Donald Trump tries to rush through the appointment of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to a new report.

Tillis told Blanche to meet with Jeffrey Epstein survivors, something the DOJ official has balked at, before the North Carolina Republican will deign to cast the vote Blanche will need to get out of the committee, according to a new report from Axios.

The demand represents a significant roadblock for Trump's nominee, Axios reported.

"I'm trying to get to yes, but this is a very important part of getting to yes," Tillis elaborated. "There should not be any reason why based on what Mr. Blanche said yesterday, if he said that he would do it today, then he can certainly do it over the next two weeks."
