Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on Wednesday morning faced Senate Judiciary Committee members in a confirmation hearing.

President Trump last month announced that he nominated Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General.

Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York, was chosen to serve as the Acting Attorney General after President Trump fired Pam Bondi in April.

Prior to serving as Acting Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, Blanche served as President Trump’s personal attorney in New York.

“He’s Acting Attorney General,” Trump said at a Rose Garden event in early June.
