Trump Taps Todd Blanche as Attorney General
Trump Taps Todd Blanche as Attorney General
The Spin
Handing the DOJ to a former personal defense attorney is a blatant conflict of interest that undermines the independence of American law enforcement. Blanche mishandled the Epstein files and backed a slush fund for insurrectionists — loyalty to Trump, not the law, is driving this nomination. The nation's top law enforcement post deserves better than a pick defined by personal allegiance.
Todd Blanche's tenure at the DOJ marks a genuine turning point for federal accountability, with the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey proving no one is above the law. Scrapping the controversial $1.8 billion fund shows a commitment to legal integrity and responsible use of taxpayer money. Equal enforcement of the law is finally the standard, not the exception.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 69% chance that senior DOJ leaders will override normal procedures to protect the President, his family, or his allies from a legal case in 2027-2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
