Trump appoints ex-lawyer as Attorney General
President Donald Trump has nominated his former attorney, Todd Blanch, for the permanent position of U.S. Attorney General, sparking a battle in the Senate to confirm the appointment. Blanch has been serving in the role temporarily since April and has faced criticism, including allegations that he directed criticism at former FBI Director James Comey and attempted to establish a $1.8 billion fund to reopen investigations into Trump supporters—a move that led to setbacks under Congressional pressure. The confirmation vote is expected to be challenging due to opposition from some Republican senators.
