WHAT HAPPENED

According to PBS, the United States Senate confirmed former Trump defense lawyer Todd Blanche as Attorney General in an overnight vote, after Republican senators dropped their opposition. The decision makes Blanche the nation's top law‑enforcement officer. The confirmation was narrowly approved, with the vote taken after hours.

The BBC reported that Blanche was confirmed in a close vote. Senator Chuck Schumer criticized the move, saying the confirmation "allows Trump to continue pervasive, breathing corruption," as reported by The Guardian. The narrow margin and Schumer’s remarks highlight the partisan divide over the appointment.

Blanche, who served as Donald Trump’s defense counsel, will now oversee the Department of Justice.

  • Blanche confirmed as Attorney General in an overnight, narrow vote.
  • Republican senators dropped their opposition to the appointment.
  • Critics, including Senator Schumer, say the confirmation enables Trump to continue corruption.
