Blanche Confirmed as AG Amid Loyalty Debate | Roanoke News
Description
Todd Blanche is officially confirmed as Attorney General in a razor-thin 50-49 Senate vote, becoming Trump’s second AG of his second term. Though he’s served as acting AG since April and was previously Trump’s personal lawyer—a fact that sparked Democratic concerns over loyalty—Blanche insisted his allegiance is to the law, not the President. Senators like Warner called his loyalty disqualifying, but Blanche pushed back during hearings. Despite Republican reservations and weeks of contentious debate, he secured enough votes to take the reins of the DOJ, marking a pivotal moment amid deep partisan divides.
