Todd Blanche Appointed Acting Attorney General

Todd Blanche has been appointed as the Acting Attorney General following the removal of Pam Bondi from the position. The decision was made by President Donald Trump amid ongoing controversies surrounding Bondi's handling of the Epstein files. Bondi's tenure was marked by allegations of covering up significant evidence related to the Epstein case, and her removal follows increasing pressure from lawmakers for her to testify. The appointment of Blanche, a former Trump lawyer, is seen as a move to stabilize the department during turbulent times.
