The Washington Post / The Washington Post via Getty ImA staggering revolt has sprung up against President Donald Trump’s attorney general pick.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche took the reins, ostensibly on a temporary basis, after his superior, Pam Bondi, was fired in April for her botched handling of the Epstein files and for failing to nail the president’s enemies.Blanche, the president’s former personal attorney who represented him in major criminal cases, including the New York hush money trial, immediately set about delivering Trump’s revenge tour—to the point that the 80-year-old wants him to take the post permanently.

Trump Will Never Pay E. Jean Carroll

Sure, they just gave him nearly unlimited power to reshape the administrative state and turn it into his personal fiefdom/dumping ground for exceedingly online groypers. And sure, they’ve turned the whole of the shadow docket into a Trump Treat Assembly Line, ruling in his favor 80 of the time and letting him skip over the need to fully litigate a case before getting his way—no matter how illegal that way might be. But what have they done for him lately? Trump is, predictably, furious that the nation’s highest court declined to grant his petition for certiorari to review the judgment in his New York civil case, where a jury took a scant few hours to find him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. That verdict came in 2023—meaning he’s been dragging this out for three years. Trump seemed genuinely amazed that the court didn’t jump at the chance to review and rubber-stamp his nonsense.read more
