Senate to Vote to Confirm Blanche, Other Key Nominations Next Week
More than 1,200 former Justice Department employees urged senators to reject Todd Blanche, while some Republicans also voiced concerns.
- Congress returns to Capitol Hill this week following the July 4 recess, with the Senate holding confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump's highest-profile nominee, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- More than 1,200 former Justice Department employees signed a letter last week opposing Blanche, citing a "culture of fear" Blanche has created and "vindictive prosecutions and investigations of the president's foes."
- Though Republicans hold a Senate majority, Blanche faces criticism from North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, and Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell; the Society for the Rule of Law also opposes his nomination.
- Senators will also consider nominees Jay Clayton, Erica Schwartz, and Keith Sonderling; Schwartz, a physician, has "no public ties to the anti-vaccine movement," according to Stat.
- These hearings follow significant turnover across the Trump administration, including the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi and resignations of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
