Washington, DC – Following today’s hearings on the confirmation of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General, People For the American Way President Svante Myrick Released the following statement:
“Committee Republicans spent hours trying to gaslight the American people into thinking Todd Blanche is anything but Donald Trump’s sycophant. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Blanche oversaw the Epstein files cover-up. He tried to push the corrupt insurrectionist slush fund and the Trump immunity deal. He has repeatedly abused the Justice Department to launch politically motivated criminal prosecutions against people and organizations that stand up to Trump. Todd Blanche actually said the quiet part out loud at today’s hearing that he is still working as Donald Trump’s lawyer just as much as he was before.
Todd Blanche has shown the nation who he is. We know what we have seen. This isn’t a close call. As the hearing showed, Blanche’s loyalty is to Trump, not truth.”
