Devlin Barrett's piece delves into how Todd Blanche, once President Trump’s personal lawyer and now his attorney general nominee, has allegedly worked to increase the president's influence over the Justice Department.

The implications of such a change raise concerns about the future of justice and the potential for political interference in legal proceedings.
