LIVE: Todd Blanche Confirmation Voting
The Senate Judiciary Committee holds an executive business meeting to consider Todd Blanche’s nomination for U.S. Attorney General, alongside several judicial nominations.
The committee action follows Blanche’s contentious confirmation hearings, where senators pressed him over the Justice Department’s independence, alleged DOJ abuse and politicization, the handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, Ghislaine Maxwell, questions surrounding Donald Trump and Epstein, and the controversial proposed “anti-weaponization” compensation fund. Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense attorney, faces continued scrutiny from Democrats over whether he could lead the Justice Department independently of the president.
