Summary
Todd Blanche’s bid to become Attorney General is heating up — and sparking fierce debate. Once Trump’s personal lawyer, Blanche now vows to be fiercely independent, even saying he’d resign over illegal orders. But senators are skeptical, questioning his loyalty and the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case — including leaks and missed leads. While Blanche defends his separation from private practice and outlines bold goals like cracking down on violent crime and cartels, critics — including Epstein survivors and some GOP lawmakers — remain unconvinced. With a Senate vote looming, Blanche must prove he’s not just a Trump loyalist — but a true guardian of the rule of law.
