@sacramentourbanmedia916: DOJ Chief Says Trump Has ‘Duty’ to Shape Investigations Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd #Blanche says President Donald Trump not only has the right—but the duty—to influence federal investigations. In his first major remarks since taking the role, Blanche pushed back on criticism that the Justice Department is targeting Trump’s political opponents, arguing the president is responsible for guiding law enforcement priorities. He acknowledged some ongoing cases involve people Trump has clashed with, but said that’s part of leadership—not abuse of power. This comes after Trump fired former Attorney General Pam Bondi, reportedly over frustration with how certain cases were handled. Under Trump, the DOJ has launched multiple investigations into critics and officials tied to past probes—including those related to the 2016 election. Some cases have hit roadblocks in court. A judge previously dismissed cases involving former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Blanche—who previously represented Trump in multiple criminal cases—said the president is seeking “justice” against those he believes targeted him unfairly. When asked about taking the role permanently, Blanche said it’s up to Trump—adding he would step aside if asked, saying: “Thank you… I love you, sir.” 👀 Power, politics, and the DOJ—where does this go next? #fyp #viral
