William Barr’s Dangerous Endorsement of Todd Blanche

William Barr, a former attorney general under Donald Trump, has written a lukewarm endorsement of Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general, acknowledging Blanche's qualifications but implying Trump's influence makes effective leadership at the Justice Department impossible. Barr emphasizes the need for the DOJ to operate without political interference, a stance that contrasts with Trump's apparent desire for a politically aligned attorney general.
