Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, recently made his firs[4D[K
first appearance as acting US Attorney General. He defended investigations [K
of individuals that President Trump has had issues with and said it is thei[4D[K
their right and duty to investigate perceived enemies. This comes after Pam[3D[K
Pam Bondi, the former attorney general, was fired for allegedly not doing e[1D[K
enough to prosecute those the president felt were out to get him, like Jame[4D[K
James Comey and Letitia James.
Blanche dismissed allegations of weaponization against Trump's foes and ins[3D[K
instead claimed that the Justice Department was weaponized by the Biden adm[3D[K
administration. He argued that there had never been such a thing in history[7D[K
history and cited four indictments brought against Trump by Special Counsel[7D[K
Counsel Jack Smith. However, both of these cases were dropped after Trump w[1D[K
won reelection.
Blanche also defended the firing of prosecutors who worked on criminal case[4D[K
cases against President Trump. He suggested it was unethical for them to co[2D[K
continue working in that environment. Several prosecutors fired since Trump[5D[K
Trump took office have filed lawsuits claiming wrongful dismissal.
