A Troubling Appointment: Trump's Ex Lawyer Blanche Confirmed as US Attorney General The confirmation of Todd Blanche as attorney general by a 50 49 vote in the Senate has sent shockwaves through Washington, raising questions about whether this is indeed the best choice for the nation's top law enforcement official.
As President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, Blanche's ties to the administration are undeniable.
Blanche's confirmation was contentious, with two Republican senators and all Democrats opposing his nomination due to concerns over his handling of sensitive documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and his role in establishing an "anti weaponisation" fund.
