Reject Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. His loyalty is to Donald Trump personally, not to the Constitution or the American public, and that disqualifies him from leading the Justice Department.
Blanche spent years as Trump's personal criminal defense attorney before being handed the Acting AG role. He praised Trump's mass pardons of January 6 defendants and helped create the $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to reward Trump's perceived political allies. He even traveled to Florida to interview convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in what former prosecutors have called an unorthodox meeting that reportedly included limited immunity. These aren't the actions of someone committed to equal justice under law.
The Attorney General serves the Constitution, not the president's personal agenda. The Senate must reject this nomination.
