Presidents pick AGs. Voters already settled the legitimacy fight.
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.
Commentary
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.
