Todd Blanche named acting AG

Todd Blanche takes over the Department of Justice at a pivotal moment, following Pam Bondi's unceremonious ouster just hours before a scheduled deposition.

Bondi's tenure was reportedly cut short due to her failure to prosecute Trump's political enemies and her management of sensitive Epstein-related documents.

Blanche, who previously represented Trump in various legal battles, now faces immediate pressure to align the DOJ with the administration's aggressive agenda.

Critics warn that the appointment of a personal loyalist further threatens the department's independence and institutional credibility.
