Fetterman Blocks Blanche’s AG Confirmation | Salt Lake City News
Description
Senator John Fetterman is blocking confirmation of Todd Blanche as acting Attorney General, throwing a wrench into Senate plans to fast-track the vote—possibly pushing it to next month. With Blanche’s past role protecting Trump and his sons from tax audits, and growing GOP unease over White House influence on the DOJ, key senators like Susan Collins and Bill Cassidy are joining the opposition, warning that Blanche risks further eroding the department’s independence. Meanwhile, Trump is rallying support online, calling Blanche a “STAR” and crowing about his future legacy. As Majority Leader negotiates with undecided lawmakers, the fate of Blanche’s confirmation hangs in the balance amid a fierce debate over justice department autonomy.
