FACT CHECK: AG Blanche's speech to DOJ employees DOESN'T MATCH his track record

Published | Video Starts at 00:21

Standing in the Justice Department's ceremonial Great hall, new Attorney General Todd Blanche gave an earnest, humble, and aspirational address to the DOJ workforce. No better civil servants anywhere in the world than those that work here at the Department of Justice. Blanche began by praising the DOJ workforce without mentioning that the Justice Department, under his tenure, has fired or forced out dozens of civil servants because they investigated President Trump or worked on other cases that Trump didn't like. (00:21–00:30)
