Dana Bash pressed Jim Jordan on Trump’s threat: “If Republicans don’t confirm Todd Blanche, the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is back on the table.” Jordan didn’t take the bait. He said Blanche is the best Attorney General he’s seen in 19 years, highly qualified, and needs to be confirmed. Then he reminded everyone that under Merrick Garland, Peter Strzok got $1.2 million and Lisa Page got $800,000 from similar funds. Bash wanted a fight over Trump’s post. Jordan kept the focus on double standards and getting Blanche confirmed. TIME TO CONFIRM TODD BLANCHE!

Jeffries: Todd Blanche is not qualified to be the deputy attorney general, the acting attorney general, and he certainly is not qualified to be the United States attorney general. The role of that particular position is to serve as the people's lawyer. Todd Blanche has been acting like Donald Trump's lawyer, which was his former position, but he has failed to transition in terms of behaving in the best interest of the American people.

As Attorney General of the United States, Todd Blanche will not be a lawyer for the American people—he will be Donald Trump's personal lawyer.

No amount of spin can change the plain truth. If confirmed, Todd Blanche would be Trump's defense attorney disguised as Attorney General. He cannot be the people’s lawyer while the sitting president is his client. He must not be confirmed.

BASH: “They were trying to send a man who was innocent to jail based on lies about vandalism… As chair of the Judiciary Committee, does that bother you?” Dana Bash presses House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan over U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro admitting damage to the Reflecting Pool was due to a “botched” renovation, not vandalism.

With Deputy Attorney General (and Trump's former personal attorney) Todd Blanche meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell twice last week - it's apparent to anyone with a semi-working brain that Trump's DOJ cannot be trusted on the Epstein matter.

BASH: Why was 2024 different from 2020 when Trump lost? JORDAN: There were concerns about 2020 with all the mail in voting.

In President Trump's Gangster State, the Justice Department is totally captured and controlled by the president. Now Republicans in Congress voted to turn Trump's personal attorney, Todd Blanche, into Trump's personal Attorney General. We need a DOJ committed to the rule of law, not the corrupt rule of a kleptocrat.

Todd Blanche helped oversee the Administration's mishandling of the Epstein files and blocked transparency for the American people. He may be President Trump's personal lawyer, but he must not become Attorney General of the United States.

Tomorrow, the Judiciary Committee is supposed to vote on Todd Blanche's nomination to be Attorney General. 2 months ago, I told Blanche that while he may have the title of acting-AG, he is still acting like Trump's personal attorney. And that is still true today.

I asked Todd Blanche – Donald Trump's personal defense lawyer and nominee for Deputy Attorney General – whether he'd commit to preserving evidence in the January 6 and Mar-a-Lago investigations. He could not say yes.

Todd Blanche is supposed to be the people's lawyer, but his appearance before the Senate this week made it clear he's still acting as Trump's personal attorney. Perhaps that’s why he was so offended when I confronted him with his failed record at the DOJ.

BREAKING: "At this moment, Todd Blanche does not yet have enough support to become Trump's attorney general." It's not that Todd Blanche can't release the remaining Epstein files or commit to ending the "weaponization" slush fund — he just won't. He has repeatedly chosen not to.

The DOJ should not work for the White House; it works for the American people. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was Trump’s former personal lawyer. He absolutely should not be the next AG.
