President Trump is pushing GOP Senators to act on the confirmation of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Blanche took over after Attorney General Pam Bondi’s departure earlier this year. In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, he praised Blanche and urged Republican Senators to move quickly to secure his confirmation.
“Todd Blanche is doing a PHENOMENAL job as Acting Attorney General of the United States,” President Trump said. “Under Todd’s incredible leadership at DOJ, Murder is down to the LOWEST level since 1900, and we just saw the biggest one year drop in RECORDED HISTORY.”
President Trump cited further arrests and prosecutions, demonstrating that the DOJ under Blanche’s leadership is upholding the “law and order” promise which was highlighted by the president during his 2024 presidential campaign and has been a central policy objective upon his return to office.
“Violent Crime arrests are UP 100%. Robberies, Carjackings, and Assaults, are all CRASHING. More than 500 million deadly doses of Drugs have already been seized, saving countless innocent lives,” President Trump said. “This is what happens when you unleash LAW AND ORDER on our streets, instead of protecting vicious Criminal Thugs, and releasing dangerous Illegal Aliens into our Communities like the Dumocrats did for four disastrous years under Sleepy Joe Biden.”
President Trump’s support comes as Democrats are launching an opposition campaign against Blanche, whose nomination is scheduled for confirmation hearings later this week. He lauded Blanche’s protection of constitutional freedoms and his willingness to fight back against radical left-wing policies.
“Todd has fought hard for Religious Liberty, ended the Weaponization of our Justice System, protected FREE SPEECH, kept Men OUT of Women’s Sports, strengthened Election Integrity, and gone to all-out-WAR against Fraud like nobody in the History of the Department of Justice,” President Trump said. “He is tough, brilliant, and 100% LOYAL to our Constitution, and the American People.”
The president also noted his personal history with Blanche, pointing out that he was there as his personal attorney during the prosecutions he faced before returning to office.
“When the Corrupt Biden “Injustice” Department and Radical Left Prosecutors tried to throw me in jail, and interfered in our Historic 2024 Presidential Campaign, Todd stood by my side and fought off the Lawfare,” President Trump said. “He is a great lawyer, always very fair, and every Republican Senator should vote to CONFIRM Todd Blanche, ASAP!”
