Washington DC: US President Donald Trump announced that he intends to nominate Todd Blanche, his former lead defense attorney, to serve permanently as the United States Attorney General. This decision upgrades Blanche's status from his previous designation as the acting head of the Justice Department.

The appointment underscores Trump’s strategy of placing trusted legal loyalists into top tier administration roles to lead his federal law enforcement agenda. Before this permanent nomination, Blanche had already been selected by Trump to oversee the department on an interim basis.

Blanche previously spearheaded Trump’s high profile legal defense team, representing him across multiple criminal cases. His defense roster notably included the federal classified documents case in Florida, the federal election interference case in Washington, and the New York hush money trial, which resulted in a conviction. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Blanche will transition from defending Trump to leading the nation's entire federal legal apparatus.
