Todd Blanche Will Weaponize Our DOJ

Published | Video Starts at 02:33

In follow up questions for the record, I asked him the simple question, if confirmed, will your highest duty be to the Constitution of the United States or to the President of the United States? He left the answer to that question blank. Blank. When he is sworn in as Attorney General, he will have to swear to uphold, support and defend the Constitution. But we know that oath will take a back seat to his loyalty to the President. The third category of questions I asked him was related to the slush fund. At his hearing I asked him whether he had rescinded the order dated May 18, 2026 setting out parameters for the so called anti weaponization fund. (02:33–02:49)
