Todd Blanche, President Donald Trump’s pick for deputy attorney general, is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday for his confirmation hearing. Blanche, a former federal prosecutor, has been nominated to become the second-in-command at the Justice Department.
The confirmation hearing is scheduled to commence at 10:15 a.m. ET, where Blanche will likely face tough questions from lawmakers. He has previously represented Trump in various legal cases, including a New York state case that led to a conviction last year and federal cases brought by the Justice Department.
