BREAKING: Dick Durbin Torches Todd Blanche at AG Hearing: Trumps Personal Attorney [VIhU0TDG6Ws]
BREAKING: Dick Durbin Torches Todd Blanche at AG Hearing: "Trump's Personal Attorney" Sen. Dick Durbin unloaded on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche during his confirmation hearing, accusing him of spending his time at the Justice Department serving Donald Trump's personal interests instead of the Constitution. Durbin pointed to Blanche's handling of the Epstein files, blasting the administration for releasing documents that exposed the personal information of survivors while keeping the names of powerful Epstein associates shielded from public view. He also attacked Blanche over the nearly $2 billion Justice Department "anti-weaponization" fund, reminding the committee that a federal judge struck it down after widespread bipartisan criticism. But Durbin saved his sharpest criticism for Blanche's loyalty to Trump. "In less than 18 months at the Department of Justice, you've shown you're still President Trump's personal attorney," Durbin said. "Your tenure can be summed up in the four words you said, 'I love you, sir,' to Trump. This nation deserves an Attorney General who loves the Constitution more than any single president." The exchange quickly became one of the most memorable moments of the hearing, with Durbin arguing that the Justice Department should answer to the rule of law, not to the political interests of the president.
