Todd Blanche, former personal lawyer to US President Donald Trump, has been confirmed as the US Attorney General following a narrow 50-49 Senate vote. Blanche, who had served as acting attorney general since April, will now become the nation’s top law enforcement official under the Trump administration. Two Republican senators, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, joined Democrats in opposing his nomination, while Senator Bill Cassidy cast the deciding vote. Blanche’s confirmation followed a contentious Senate battle involving his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein-related documents and Trump’s proposed anti-weaponisation fund.
