They cited his degradation of the apolitical career workforce and promotion of a \"culture of fear\" ahead of his July 15–16 confirmation hearings. Signatories of the letter span 14 presidential administrations, both Democratic and Republican, and include dozens of former U.S. attorneys, component heads, and other senior leaders. They represent staff from 77 U.S. Attorney's Offices across the country, including many who worked in Blanche's former office in the Southern District of New York. The former officials accuse Blanche—who previously served as Deputy Attorney General and represented Donald Trump in three of his criminal cases—of exhibiting fealty to the President rather than the Constitution. They highlighted concerns over an exodus of roughly 16,000 DOJ employees and accused leadership of political retaliation.
