Part 4/7:
Amidst this charged environment, Todd Blanch, President Trump’s former personal attorney, has been nominated for the position of Deputy Attorney General. His confirmation hearing, fueled by bipartisan interest, was marked by discussions about both his qualifications and his past defense of Trump in what many perceive as politically motivated prosecutions.
Introducing Blanch at the hearing, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody expressed confidence in his capabilities, asserting that he is well-positioned to restore faith in the DOJ and combat the rising threats to public safety. Blanch himself has openly criticized what he views as the weaponization of the legal system for political advantage, insisting that politics should never influence the justice system.
