Trump to nominate Todd Blanche as permanent attorney general

June 4 (UPI) – President Donald Trump said he plans to nominate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to take over the job permanently after Pam Bondi was fired in April.

Trump said he would send Blanche's nomination to the U.S. Senate in remarks during a private dinner Wednesday evening in the White House Rose Garden, NBC News and The Washington Post reported.

Blanche took over for Bondi on April 2 after Trump announced that she was leaving the administration for a private sector job, although sources at the time said that Trump had been "more and more frustrated" that she had not successfully "executed his vision."
