Nomination of Todd Blanche (Executive Session)
The Senate met in executive session to consider the nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General. Senator Cassidy said he would vote to confirm, noting he has concerns about some of Mr. Blanche’s past choices and the use of the justice system against political enemies, but citing his legal knowledge and his focus on violent crime, drug trafficking, and fraud, and arguing that a confirmed Attorney General has more power to stand up to the President than an acting one.Written by AI from the debate.
