Todd Blanche faces Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for attorney general
Todd Blanche, who has served as acting attorney general since April 2026, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and Thursday for his confirmation hearing. Key issues expected at the hearing include the Justice Department's investigations into Trump's political opponents, the handling of Jeffrey Epstein files, and Blanche's relationship with President Trump. Epstein survivors have urged the Senate to reject Blanche's nomination ahead of the hearing.
