Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has rejected the idea that the Department of Justice is pursuing Donald Trump’s enemies while at the same time claiming the president has a “right” and “duty” to investigate and prosecute his political foes.
Blanche, the president’s former criminal defense attorney, is serving as interim attorney general after the president fired Pam Bondi last week. Trump had appointed Blanche to serve as deputy attorney general last year.
Asked during his first public appearance as the nation’s top law enforcement officer how he intends to balance Trump’s demands for politically charged prosecutions while ending the “weaponization” of the Justice Department, Blanche did not dispute the premise of the question.
