Todd Blanche faces his biggest public test Wednesday in his bid to serve as President Donald Trump’s fourth confirmed attorney general: a Senate Judiciary Committee with a pair of undecided Republicans.
The panel’s two-day hearing, which will feature Blanche on the first day and outside witnesses on the second, will likely air some of the most controversial efforts of the second Trump administration, ranging from the handling of the investigation into deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to Trump’s nationwide immigration crackdown, criminal cases against the president’s critics and the $1.8 billion settlement fund that the Justice Department is still fighting for in court.
