Sen. Grassley welcomes Todd Blanche
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche seeks a permanent role and has support from Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, but faces concerns from Democrats over potential conflicts of interest due to his past as President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. Critics worry he may target Trump’s political enemies, referencing ongoing investigations against James Comey and Cassidy Hutchinson, and the handling of the Epstein files is under scrutiny with a House Oversight Committee hearing planned.
