President Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general. Blanche, who has been acting attorney general, has aggressively pursued Trump's agenda and has been criticized for his actions.
Blanche's nomination comes after a tumultuous period, including the proposal of a nearly $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' that was met with bipartisan backlash and ultimately scrapped.
The nomination is expected to face significant scrutiny, particularly from Democrats and some Republicans, who have accused Blanche of politicizing the Justice Department and carrying out a campaign of retribution on behalf of Trump.
