Trump’s Former Lawyer Is Now Attorney General

Todd Blanche, Trump’s former lawyer, is now attorney general.

Summary

Al Jazeera reports Todd Blanche, previously Trump’s lawyer, is now attorney general.
The appointment puts a trusted legal fighter at the top of the Justice Department.
Critics call it loyalty politics; supporters call it overdue course correction after lawfare years.
DOJ priorities on immigration, crime, and politicized prosecutions will be closely watched.
Senate politics around confirmation and legitimacy remain part of the story.

After years of selective prosecution theater, putting a Trump-trusted AG in place is not a scandal. It is a correction.

DOJ should prioritize border crime, cartels, and equal enforcement, not endless activist lawfare.

Al Jazeera can frame it as ominous. American voters hired enforcement, not another seminar.
