Todd Blanche, the former personal attorney for President Donald Trump, is set to be confirmed as the United States attorney general following a Senate vote on Friday. Blanche previously represented the president in multiple criminal cases prior to his transition into government service.
The appointment has drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Dick Durbin. Critics argue that the role of attorney general requires independence to serve as the people's lawyer, expressing concern that Blanche's professional history suggests he may continue to function as the president's personal legal counsel.
