Trump picks acting AG Blanche to stay on full time

President Donald Trump has nominated acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to lead the Department of Justice permanently, citing quick confirmation. Blanche, who has represented Trump in legal cases and led the department since April, faces opposition from Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who criticize his loyalty to Trump. A controversial $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund established by the Department of Justice has drawn bipartisan criticism, with concerns it may provide reparations to pardoned Jan. 6 defendants.
