WHAT HAPPENED

On Monday, Todd Blanche—formerly Donald Trump’s personal lawyer—was sworn in as the United States Attorney General. The ceremony followed a bruising confirmation fight that saw the Senate vote by the narrowest of margins.

According to News – South China Morning Post, the confirmation debate exposed bipartisan concerns over the Justice Department’s direction under the Republican president. The oath was administered by former Trump lawyer Emil Bove, now a federal appellate judge, at the White House after the early Saturday Senate vote. Euronews also reported that Blanche’s swearing‑in was the result of that slim Senate majority.

Blanche’s appointment continues the Trump‑era agenda for the DOJ, a move that has drawn scrutiny from both parties as lawmakers debate the agency’s future priorities.
