Todd Blanche Targets Trump’s Enemies

“Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, is doing what he can, as quickly as he can, to shed the ‘acting’ label,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Blanche, who ran the day-to-day operations of the Justice Department as the top deputy to his predecessor, Pam Bondi, before her unceremonious ouster this month, has long been a target of pro-Trump influencers who accuse him of slow-walking the prosecutions of President Trump’s enemies.”

“But now Mr. Blanche is striving to silence critics on the right with a conspicuous salvo of actions to demonstrate progress on the president’s priorities, among them payback against Mr. Trump’s adversaries.”
