President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate the acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to permanently lead the Department of Justice. This announcement came during a video shared on social media by White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino.

Blanche took over the role on an interim basis after former Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired in early April. In the video, recorded during a dinner event at the White House, Trump stated his intention to instruct Scavino and others involved in the nomination process to expedite Blanche’s appointment.

“Tomorrow I’m instructing Dan [Scavino] and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go, I think, very quickly, that we are going to make him permanent Attorney General,” Trump declared.

This announcement follows Blanche’s temporary leadership of the department and signifies Trump’s confidence in his ability to fulfill the responsibilities of the role. Further updates on the story are anticipated.
