A dramatic overnight Senate vote has officially confirmed Todd Blanche as the next U.S. Attorney General, giving Donald Trump’s former personal and criminal defense lawyer full control of the Justice Department. Blanche survived a razor-thin 50-49 vote after two Republican senators broke ranks and opposed his nomination. The confirmation came after intense controversy over his loyalty to Trump, the independence of the Justice Department, and a proposed $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund. Blanche ultimately secured key Republican support by promising to abandon the controversial fund and its tax-audit provisions. Now, questions are mounting over whether Blanche can balance his loyalty to Trump with the independence expected from America’s top law enforcement official. #ToddBlanche #TrumpAttorneyGeneral #ToddBlancheConfirmed #TrumpDOJ #JusticeDepartment #TrumpAdministration #DOJNews #SenateVote #SenateConfirmation #BlancheConfirmation #TrumpNews #USPolitics #BreakingNews #AmericanPo
