2:05:51Now PlayingThe Senate Judiciary Committee convenes to decide whether to advance acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, to the full Senate for a final confirmation vote. Blanche’s nomination has become one of the most closely watched confirmation battles in Washington, with lawmakers sharply divided over his previous role as Trump’s personal lawyer, his leadership at the Justice Department, and concerns surrounding the department’s independence. Democrats have also pressed Blanche over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. At the same time, Republicans have defended him as a key figure in the administration’s effort to reshape federal law enforcement.
The committee vote follows days of controversy over a proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” which critics argued could benefit Trump allies and January 6 defendants. Blanche formally rescinded the program, a move that helped secure the backing of key Republican senators, including Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, and cleared the way for the nomination to move forward.
