Story
Trump’s Former Defense Lawyer Todd Blanche Nominated for DOJ No. 2 Position
Nov 24, 2024, 04:04 PM
Donald Trump's former defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, has been nominated for the No. 2 position at the Department of Justice (DOJ). DOJ attorneys are hopeful that Blanche, who is also a former federal prosecutor, will help protect the department’s career civil servants from potential political influence by Trump. Blanche is known for his understanding of the DOJ's tradition of barring politicians from influencing criminal investigations, but he faces a challenging task in maintaining this independence. Blanche is also the president-elect’s defense lawyer.
