Todd Blanche was narrowly confirmed as attorney general in an overnight Senate vote despite new allegations he committed witness bribery and evidence tampering in New Mexico. The confirmation raises questions about the vetting process for top law enforcement positions.
Todd Blanche, Trump's pick for attorney general, was confirmed overnight by a narrow Senate vote despite new allegations he committed witness bribery and evidence tampering in a New Mexico case. The confirmation happened fast and with minimal deliberation, suggesting the timing was designed to limit scrutiny. Blanche now heads the Justice Department while these serious allegations remain unresolved.
This is what it looks like when institutional checks stop working. Normally, a narrow confirmation on bribery allegations would trigger extended hearings or calls for investigation. Instead, the process accelerated. Blanche will now oversee federal prosecutors, set DOJ priorities, and direct investigations—all while facing credible accusations of suborning witnesses and hiding evidence. The vetting process didn't fail; it was bypassed.
