<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he planned to make Todd Blanche&#8217;s position as acting attorney general “permanent.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Tomorrow I&#8217;m instructing Dan [Scavino] and everybody else that&#8217;s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go, I think, very quickly, that we are going to make him permanent Attorney General,&#8221; Trump said during an event at the White House. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A video of Trump’s comments was posted by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, who wrote, &#8220;congratulations” to Blanche and the Justice Department. </span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blanche became acting attorney general in April after Trump </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-out-as-ag-following-months-of-epstein-controversy-criticism-over-lack-of-prosecutions"><span style="font-weight: 400;">decided</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to move on from Pam Bondi. Trump was reportedly frustrated with the lack of criminal prosecutions of Democrats he believed weaponized their positions against him. Bondi also faced much criticism over her handling of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At one point it appeared as if Trump was considering other options, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, to officially take the helm of the Justice Department, but it appears he has decided to stick with Blanche. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During an appearance this week on “Pod Force One,” Trump described Blanche as a “very talented guy” and said he was doing “a very good job” at the Justice Department. When asked by reporter Miranda Devine if he believed Blanche would become attorney general, the president said, “I ​think he will.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Under Blanche, the Justice Department brought renewed charges against former FBI Director James Comey, along with charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center and a scientist who once served as a top aide to Anthony Fauci. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blanche worked on multiple Trump defense teams after his first term as president ended, including the case involving accusations that he falsified business records in New York during the “hush money” case. He also worked to defend Trump against the charges brought by former special counsel Jack Smith related to the president’s handling of classified documents and the 2020 election. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To become attorney general, Blanche would need to be confirmed by the Senate. He was confirmed as deputy attorney general in a 52-46 vote, but would likely face questions about the scrapped $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.</span></p>
