Summary

Todd Blanche went from well-respected Wall Street lawyer to Trump crony. And now, he’s about to lose his dream job as attorney general. Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket, explains what makes Blanche so dangerous, how he is jeopardizing his Senate confirmation to protect Trump’s slush fund, and why we can’t let the legacy media shift the Overton window on Trump’s nominees.
