President Trump says he will nominate Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general - NPR
Overview
President Donald Trump announced he will nominate Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and the current acting attorney general, to serve as attorney general. Blanche has already taken several consequential actions as acting attorney general — including saying the president can order probes of political opponents, expanding a settlement to cover past tax audits, and abandoning a proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund — prompting concerns about politicizing the Justice Department. The formal nomination deepens scrutiny of ongoing leadership changes at DOJ and their potential to reshape enforcement and prosecutions.
