Blanche to say at Senate confirmation hearing that he is 'restoring trust' in the Justice Department

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will testify at his Senate confirmation hearing that he is 'restoring trust' in the Justice Department, addressing criticisms from Democrats over its handling of investigations into Trump's perceived adversaries. Over 1,200 Justice Department alumni oppose his nomination, and key Republican senators including John Cornyn and Thom Tillis may determine the outcome of his bid for a permanent role.
