Tomorrow. I&#8217;m instructing Dan (Scavino) and everybody else that&#8217;s involved in that very complicated process &#8211; \u200bwhich is going to go, I think, very quickly &#8211; that we are going to make him permanent \u200battorney general,&#8221; Trump said at a White House event, according to a video posted \u2060on X late on Wednesday by his aide Scavino.<\/div>\n<div>Blanche, 51, took over leadership of the Justice Department after Trump \u200bfired Pam Bondi in April amid tension over the agency&#8217;s release of files related to convicted child sex offender \u200bJeffrey Epstein and frustration that the department was not moving forcefully enough against the White House&#8217;s supposed political enemies.<\/div>\n<div>Blanche has faced backlash from Republican senators, and even some White House aides, over the Justice Department&#8217;s now-scuttled plan to create a $1.8 billion fund for victims \u200bof alleged government &#8220;weaponization.&#8221; To be confirmed, Blanche would need near-unanimous Republican support in the Senate, which Republicans control \u200bby a narrow 53-47 margin.<\/div>\n<div>He said on Tuesday that the DOJ would not be moving forward with the plan, which sparked fierce \u200cbipartisan opposition \u2060and threatened to derail a $72 billion funding package for Trump&#8217;s immigration crackdown.<\/div>\n<div>But Trump on Wednesday would not say whether the fund had been terminated or was on hold, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;d have to ask the lawyers. I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;I love it. I think it&#8217;s so important,&#8221; Trump told reporters at the White House. &#8220;The weaponization fund, as far \u200bas I&#8217;m concerned, was a \u200bbeautiful thing.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Some lawmakers have \u2060called for a ban on the fund to be documented in writing or codified into law. Blanche told members of Congress this week that he would not commit \u200bto putting anything into writing.<\/div>\n<div>Trump said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday that he was \u200blikely to \u2060nominate Blanche to the permanent position.<\/div>\n<div>Blanche has moved quickly as acting attorney general to ingratiate himself to Trump and his political movement. In addition to the fund, the DOJ under Blanche has removed press releases detailing cases arising from \u2060the January \u200b6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, released a report condemning \u200bpast prosecutions of anti-abortion activists and secured criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center civil rights group and former FBI Director James \u200bComey, a longtime Trump foe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=990\">Former Trump adviser Bolton to pay $2.25 million to settle classified document charges, sources say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=988\">First IAEA report on Iran\u2019s nuclear programme since February shows little change despite war<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=986\">Senate Republicans to grapple with Trump\u2019s \u2018anti-weaponization\u2019 fund as ICE funding vote nears<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump said he would move to nominate acting U.S. \u200cAttorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday to permanently lead the Justice Department, which would make his former personal lawyer the nation&#8217;s top law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":991,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,12,39,17],"class_list":["post-992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-constitutional-law","tag-human-rights","tag-legal-industry","tag-public-policy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
