@justinfreakin: “How Long Do You Intend To Put Up With That Kash Patel?” – AG Nominee Blanche Scoffs At Question Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday as he seeks confirmation to secure his role on a permanent basis. Blanche is facing questions over a series of controversies from his time with the Justice Department, including the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and what he says is the now-defunct "Anti-Weaponization Fund" part of a settlement after President Donald Trump sued the Internal Revenue Service for $10 billion. Formerly Trump's defense attorney, Blanche faced a relatively smooth glide path to confirmation with unanimous Republican support last year when he was nominated to serve as the department's No. 2 official. Since Trump's ouster of Pam Bondi as attorney general in April, Blanche has served in the position in an acting role and Trump formally nominated him in June. "We are here today with the awesome responsibility of choosing the next attorney general of the United States of America. We're here because there is a vacancy in the office. The president decided to fire the predecessor of Mr. Blanche after just 14 months on the job after courts and grand juries blocked her from prosecuting the president's political opponents," Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin said in his opening statement. "Seemingly, President Trump believes you, Mr. Blanche, will be more successful." #Trump #newstiktok #kashpatel #fbi
