During his confirmation hearing, Todd Blanche, President Trump's attorney and nominee for the Justice Department's No. 2 position, denounced investigations of Trump as corrupt. He expressed frustration over perceived unfair treatment of Trump and defended his prior legal work for the former president. Blanche acknowledged his ongoing attorney-client relationship with Trump, despite lacking active cases. His comments coincide with concerns about possible reassignments of law enforcement officials under the Trump administration, raising fears about loyalty and integrity within the Justice Department. If confirmed, he would oversee the FBI and related agencies.
I continue to be frustrated... That's power, and that's power that's corrupted.
Asked by Senator Adam B. Schiff if he was still Mr. Trump's lawyer, Mr. Blanche said he was, though he added that there were no active cases he was working on for the president.
