Trump's Attorney General: A Loyal Ally in a Department Under Siege The confirmation of Todd Blanche as US attorney general by a single vote serves as a stark reminder of the politicization of America's top law enforcement agency.
As a former personal lawyer for Donald Trump, Blanche has been accused of prioritizing loyalty to his client above all else, raising questions about whether he can uphold the independence and integrity of the Justice Department.
The confirmation fight was marked by deep concerns from both Republicans and Democrats, with two Republican senators joining every Democrat in opposition.
