Still Seated

Todd Blanche is the acting Attorney General and a former federal prosecutor who became one of Trump’s most trusted personal attorneys before taking over the Justice Department after Pam Bondi’s ouster. Recent coverage describes him as a loyal Trump fixer now carrying the burden of turning Trump’s demands into DOJ action, which is exactly why he is controversial: his rise is tied less to institutional independence than to personal loyalty and his willingness to help weaponize the department against Trump’s enemies.
