Trump picks acting AG Blanche to stay on full time

President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for a permanent role at the Department of Justice. Blanche, who has led the department since April, faces opposition from Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who criticized his loyalty to Trump. The nomination follows controversy over a DOJ settlement in Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit, which established an 'anti-weaponization' fund criticized for its governance structure.
