Episode Details

Acting AG Blanche is under fire at his Senate confirmation hearing, defending his record as Trump’s former personal attorney while pushing a vision of restoring trust in the Justice Department. He dismissed claims the department was weaponized, insisted his team is focused on fixing the perception, and defended a controversial Trump tax immunity deal — saying it doesn’t elevate anyone above the law. He confirmed a $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies is dead, and while he didn’t celebrate Trump’s pardons for January 6 rioters, he called them “generous.” Blanche also took responsibility for redaction errors in the Epstein case, stressing victim protection. With Senator Cornyn still undecided and Tillis more supportive, Blanche’s fate hinges on winning over key Republicans — all while trying to prove his leadership is about fairness, not politics.
