PoliticsUS Senate confirms Trump loyalist Todd Blanche as attorney general

The US Senate narrowly confirmed Donald Trump’s nominee Todd Blanche as attorney general by 50-49. Three Republicans opposed him, while Louisiana Republican Bill Cassidy supplied the decisive vote. Democrats warned that Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, could treat the Justice Department as an office serving the president rather than the public.
