Trump mencalonkan Todd Blanche sebagai jaksa agung

Presiden Trump telah secara resmi mencalonkan Todd Blanche untuk menjabat sebagai jaksa agung berikutnya. Gedung Putih mengajukan nominasi tersebut ke Senat minggu ini, yang memulai proses konfirmasi potensial.

Todd Blanche telah menjabat sebagai pelaksana tugas jaksa agung selama dua bulan setelah Pam Bondi meninggalkan posisi tersebut pada bulan April. Trump mengumumkan pada makan malam pribadi hari Rabu lalu bahwa Blanche akan mengambil peran tersebut secara permanen. Blanche sebelumnya bekerja sebagai pengacara pribadi Trump dalam beberapa kasus pidana. Sejak menjadi pelaksana tugas jaksa agung, ia telah menjalankan prioritas pemerintahan dan membela usulan Dana Anti-Persenjataan senilai $1,8 miliar. Blanche menandatangani dokumen yang melindungi Trump, keluarganya, dan bisnisnya dari audit IRS tertentu. Beberapa senator dari Partai Republik telah menyuarakan kekhawatiran mengenai rekam jejaknya selama bertugas di Departemen Kehakiman. Blanche mengatakan kepada Fox News bahwa ia akan fokus pada pelaksanaan prioritas presiden, termasuk membuat negara aman kembali. Pertarungan konfirmasi di Senat diperkirakan akan meneliti tindakan-tindakannya selama menjabat sebagai pelaksana tugas.
