WHAT HAPPENED
The United States Senate confirmed Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, as the new Attorney General on a Thursday vote. The confirmation came despite opposition from Democrats who argued that the appointment politicises the Department of Justice.
Blanche had represented Trump in several criminal trials before joining the administration, and his nomination was announced by President Biden. Democrats in the Senate accused the president of using the appointment to advance a partisan agenda for the DOJ. The Senate moved forward with the confirmation while the chamber was scheduled to depart for its August recess.
The appointment marks a significant shift in the leadership of the Department of Justice, as it brings a former Trump lawyer into the role. Critics worry that this could alter the DOJ’s approach to investigations and enforcement.
- Todd Blanche confirmed as Attorney General by the Senate.
- Blanche previously served as Donald Trump’s private attorney in multiple criminal cases.
