I am opposed to Todd Blanche for Attorney General. The acting Attorney General has drawn fire for a string of contentious moves including indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and the Southern Poverty Law Center; rollbacks of gun control measures; and waves of subpoenas issued to journalists seeking the identities of sources. Blanche also praised Trump’s mass pardons of January 6 defendants and helped create the controversial $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” for the so-called political victims of the Biden administration. He took over the fallout of the Epstein files, and then failed to deliver on major new evidence. A group of Epstein survivors have come out against Blanche’s nomination, citing his role in efforts to contain the political fallout.
