Bill Barr says Todd Blanche isn't 'a toady,' urges senate to confirm Trump's AG pick

Bill Barr, former Attorney General under the first Trump administration, is urging Senate Republicans to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general, arguing his close relationship with Trump is a strength. Barr counters criticism that Blanche's role as Trump's defense lawyer creates a conflict of interest, asserting that Blanche's established trust with the president would enable effective leadership at the Justice Department. Blanche faces a challenging confirmation process with uncertain GOP support.
