Blanche on whether DOJ will be independent: ‘I’m not going to pledge that’

The newly sworn-in attorney general has refused to commit to an independent Justice Department, signaling a departure from previous norms and potentially raising concerns about oversight and accountability. This stance aligns with her support for controversial figures like Jeanine Pirro, who has faced criticism. Additionally, she has declared the "anti-weaponization" fund, a measure aimed at preventing misuse of government resources, obsolete. This move could impact public trust and the perception of the department's integrity.
