Blanche Could Run Justice Department for Months

“Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche could run the Justice Department for months to come — even if Donald Trump doesn’t nominate him to the top post,” Politico reports.

“A potential loophole in the federal law that governs temporary appointments creates the possibility that Blanche, in his acting capacity, could essentially take over as the nation’s top law enforcement officer if Trump chooses to bypass the Senate confirmation process, as he’s done for other top federal prosecutors.”
