President Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to permanently fill the vacancy left by former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
On Wednesday, in a video posted to social media by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, the president revealed at a Rose Garden Club dinner that he will formally submit Blanche as his choice for the high-level Department of Justice (DOJ) post.
“Tomorrow I’m instructing Dan [Scavino] and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go, I think, very quickly, that we are going to make him permanent Attorney General,” Trump revealed.
Prior to stepping into the interim role two months ago, 51-year-old Blanche served as deputy attorney general.
During his tenure at the DOJ, he pivoted agency priorities to align with the Trump administration’s core objectives, spearheading what supporters describe as an ongoing campaign to dismantle federal bureaucracy, eliminate political weaponization, secure the border and restore American pride.
