Trump’s nominee for attorney general – also his former personal defense lawyer – faces questions from senators as he attempts to take the top justice department role
Senators on the judiciary committee have kicked off the confirmation hearing for Todd Blanche to serve as the attorney general.
The committee chair, Republican Chuck Grassley, noted that the lawmakers will consider Blanche for a “promotion” today. A reminder that Blanche was previously confirmed, and served, as deputy attorney general under Pam Bondi.
