Todd Blanche named acting AG

Todd Blanche, a key figure in President Trump's legal defense team, has taken control of the Justice Department following a dramatic cabinet shakeup.

The removal of Pam Bondi, which reportedly occurred via a brief four-word message, has sparked concerns about the department's future independence.

Blanche has already signaled a shift in priorities, suggesting that the department should move past the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

Meanwhile, some Republican senators have established 'red lines' for any permanent nominee, particularly regarding the events of January 6.
