The Senate Judiciary Committee moved forward with the confirmation process for Todd Blanche to become the permanent Attorney General. In a vote held Tuesday, the committee approved his nomination, sending it to the full Senate for consideration. Blanche has been serving in an acting capacity at the Department of Justice. The advancement of his nomination is a key step in his quest to officially lead the nation’s top law enforcement agency. While the committee vote signals support, Blanche still faces a full Senate vote where his confirmation is not guaranteed. His confirmation would solidify his position and allow him to fully implement his vision for the Department of Justice.
