Todd Blanche Receives Outpouring of Support From Law Enforcement, Angel Families, Bipartisan DOJ Officials and Legal Organizations Ahead of Judiciary Committee Hearings
WASHINGTON – Major law enforcement organizations representing over 670,000 sworn officers, 300 angel families, more than 100 bipartisan U.S. Attorneys and DOJ officials spanning eight administrations, and leading legal organizations are all voicing their support for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s Attorney General nomination. Blanche’s nominations hearings will be led this week by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
Here’s what they’re saying:
“Todd Blanche understands that the Department’s mission is to deliver justice—not to serve political interests or entrenched bureaucracies. He has shown the courage and institutional knowledge to restore focus on public safety, law enforcement support, and the rule of law... We firmly believe the Department of Justice and the Nation will benefit from his continued leadership at the helm. We urge you in the strongest terms to confirm Todd W. Blanche as the next Attorney General of the United States without delay.”

“Our constitutional system depends upon strong institutions led by capable public servants. Regardless of party, the Department of Justice functions best when it is led by an Attorney General who commands the confidence of career law enforcement professionals while remaining accountable to the Constitution and the laws enacted by Congress. Confirming Mr. Blanche will strengthen both the Senate’s constitutional role and the effective operation of the executive branch.”
“Mr. Blanche’s confirmation as Attorney General would advance the cause of respect for human life in the United States. Through his statements and actions as Acting Attorney General, Mr. Blanche has shown himself to be a sincere advocate for human life and a faithful servant of President Trump’s pro-life agenda… We at Americans United for Life are confident in Mr. Blanche’s commitment to the fair and even application of the law.
