Blanche Takes Charge at Justice Department | Roanoke News
Description
Todd Blanche is now the official Acting Attorney General after a razor-thin Senate confirmation, stepping into the Justice Department’s top role with a mountain of pressure. With a president openly demanding the department target political foes, Blanche faces a high-stakes balancing act—navigating internal staff departures, judicial pushback, and his own history as a Trump defense lawyer. He insists he’s not swayed by the White House and believes the president has every right to engage with Justice matters. Some allies think his courtroom experience defending Trump might actually give him a unique edge to resist presidential overreach.
