President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he plans to nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to permanently lead the Department of Justice.
In a video posted to social media by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, Trump can be seen announcing that he will nominate Blanche for the position after he assumed the role on an interim basis following former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s firing in early April.
“Tomorrow I’m instructing Dan [Scavino] and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go, I think, very quickly, that we are going to make him permanent Attorney General,” Trump said in the video, which was recorded during a Rose Garden Club Dinner on Wednesday evening at the White House.
Blanche oversaw the second indictment of FBI Director James Comey after becoming acting AG.
Shortly after taking the reins, Blanche oversaw the DOJ’s second indictment of former FBI Director James Comey over alleged threats to Trump. He also announced last month the creation of an “anti-weaponization fund,” designed to help individuals who believe the government wrongfully targeted them to file and settle claims.
But after a federal judge in Virginia blocked the administration from making any payments via the fund last Friday, the department has put it on hold.
