Explained simply
Todd Blanche is a lawyer who represented Donald Trump in criminal cases before Trump returned to the White House. Trump nominated him to be deputy attorney general, the Justice Department’s second-ranking role, which oversees much of the department’s daily work and supports the attorney general.
The Justice Department investigates and prosecutes federal crimes, including corruption by public officials. Blanche’s background as Trump’s personal lawyer has drawn attention to questions about how independently the department would act in cases involving the president or his allies. The Senate’s role is to examine and vote on presidential nominees to senior government posts.
