Show Notes
Todd Blanche, a Trump loyalist, appointed as acting attorney general, replacing Jeffrey Rosen. Blanche, a private lawyer and former prosecutor, gained fame defending Trump in legal battles. After Trumps reelection, cases against him were dropped, and Blanche backed probes into Trumps critics. He fired over two hundred officials linked to Trump investigations and praised Day One pardons for January sixth defendants. Democrats criticize the appointment as a loyalty purge, while Blanche welcomes pressure from Trump supporters. He interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, where she denied any Epstein client list or blackmail schemes. The DOJ says Blanches appointment sets up big moves ahead at Justice.
