President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to permanently head the Department of Justice. This announcement came on Wednesday evening, as Trump delivered the news in a video shared on social media by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino.
Blanche assumed the role on an interim basis following the dismissal of former Attorney General Pam Bondi in early April. The President expressed his plans to make Blanche’s position permanent during a Rose Garden Club Dinner at the White House.
“Tomorrow I’m instructing Dan [Scavino] and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go, I think, very quickly, that we are going to make him permanent Attorney General,” Trump stated in the video.
