Trump announces intent to nominate Todd Blanche as attorney general.
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to serve permanently. Blanche, Trump's former personal attorney, has led the Justice Department since Pam Bondi's departure in April. His confirmation faces uncertainty in the Senate amid bipartisan criticism of a proposed $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that was scrapped this week.
