Epstein files scrutiny as Trump plans to nominate Todd Blanche for AG
President Trump plans to nominate Todd Blanche, his former personal attorney, to be U.S. attorney general. A congressional review found extensive redactions in the Jeffrey Epstein files, prompting lawmakers to argue the withholdings shield powerful figures rather than aid survivors. Rep. Madeleine Dean confronted Blanche over the redactions, telling him he is 'gravely conflicted' and that survivors deserve prosecutions. If confirmed, Attorney General Blanche would control Justice Department decisions on prosecutions and release of the remaining Epstein materials, making the nomination consequential for survivors and ongoing investigations.
BREAKING: MS Now confirms Trump will formally nominate his former personal lawyer Todd Blanche to be his next attorney general. Todd Blanche mishandled the Epstein files, supported the controversial slush fund to give to insurrectionists, and targeted Trump's perceived enemies.
Ryan Statz39Everyone knows he’s a piece of shit, but they’ll confirm him anyway
Dr. Art Garfunky20Todd Blanche moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum-security prison to a ‘camp-like’ facility. Bureau of Prisons policy prohibits individuals charged with sex crimes from being housed in minimum-security environments. Todd Blanche is a pedophile protector.
Martyn Lenoble18Remember when Bill Clinton met AG Loretta Lynch on the tarmac in Phoenix? The outrage?
River Blackearth14He passed the probationary period by showing he’s lower than pond scum and damn proud of it.
𝔸𝕝𝕝 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤13We are in the mist of something awful. And yet we must be prepared to fight. With courage and optimism. Because they are notoriously stupid we should maintain hope.
Martin Quinn8Someday he'll be disbarred and in prison.
🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦 💪🏼👊🏼6Good luck with that. Blanche specifically said he would not put it in writing that the slush fund is dead.
DocBites6And lost cases over and over as trumps personal attorney
Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺5Mob lawyer who lies as much as his boss does
Diamond Life4The President’s Personal Lawyer, a mob lawyer, Ghislaine Maxwell fixer, who lost multiple felony cases to citizen juries. Now promoted to nominated AG. WTAMF IS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY.
Rich Fox4Mob lawyer for attorney general. We’re a banana republic.
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁4Once he accepts, he fulfils all the next administration will need to prosecute his corrupt ass and put him behind bars as the most corrupt AG in American history
Mel3The guy who made an arrangement with Ghislaine Maxwell.
NurseQ AntiFascist: boycott big businesses3Loyalists get promoted. This isn't a government of the People for the People. Stop expecting it to be. Stop acting surprised, shocked, disappointed or angry. Profiting on what they do is ethically bankrupt on both sides of the aisle.
demosthenes1959.bsky.social3Todd Blanche is exactly the kind of ruthless lying crook Trump likes. Will the Senate confirm someone as utterly dishonest as Blanche?
That Susan W3May he also be nominated for high crimes and misdemeanors.
mungonna8.bsky.social3Now that he is being investigated for lying, manipulating the court, and whatever other skullduggery hes involved in, he finally qualifies for this administration to nominate him on his qualifications alone. No need to bring up his beautiful charitable personality, charming smile or incredible wit😜
slindquist.bsky.social3IOW,Trump found his new Roy Cohn.
Deb2He who has overseen malfeasance and incompetence of every kind imaginable within a department of justice.
ESC Riley 🏳️🌈2Please for the love of god don’t confirm him.
Nice to meet you.2he’ll still get Democratic votes. it’s sickness
Robert Democracy Illes2Because it's been going so well.
Janice @OCG2Drafted the path to move Maxwell to a minimum country club prison and on to a pardon when no one is looking. Well, many of us are keeping a journal of his lies and crimes. Blanche should be under investigation for all the cover-up and collusion to defraud the United States, not under nomination.
MMMurray2No way. This guy doesn’t respect the law and is a proven liar.
After months of delay, the House took a bipartisan vote to end Trump’s war in Iran. FU*K'EM #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS
Skunk - It's the billionaires and trump, stupid.5Big whoop. It's all performative bullshit. Apparently it will go to the Senate and then trump will veto it.
Deep Hurting 🐈🐈⬛𓃠2Better late than never, but the damage is already done. The cost of lives is too many, hopefully this will be the end of it.
Jason2The war is illegal and we shouldn’t of been there too begin with.
