As vote on Blanche for attorney general nears, ex-DOJ staffers warn against confirmation

Former Department of Justice officials and an abuse survivor have raised concerns about acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s suitability for the role, just a day before a committee vote on his nomination. Critics cite his limited experience and past associations, arguing it could undermine the department’s integrity and independence. This comes amid broader worries about political influence in the Justice Department, making the vote a pivotal moment for the future of DOJ’s operations and public trust.
