Trump:

If Senators Cornyn and Tillis, both upset because I wouldn’t Endorse them (they lost, and quit, respectively!), aren’t going to approve Todd Blanche, one of the most respected professionals, according to everybody, in the Country, to be the United States Attorney General, then I will keep Todd as Acting A.G., and push hard to get the Anti-Weaponization Bill, which takes care of those who have been so badly treated by the Crooked Joe Biden (and Obuma!) Administration (I get nothing, although I was treated horribly!), PASSED. Todd Blanche was a voice of reason! It will immediately be back on the table, and I will get it done.

Trump:

Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting. Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention.

I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.

U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he plans to publicly name alleged associates of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before leaving Congress and said there would be no high-level arrests while Todd Blanche and Kash Patel remain in power.

"Yes. Todd Blanche is violating the law. There's still millions of files they haven't released. We know from talking to the victims' lawyers that their own 302 forms haven't been released. We know that files have been over-redacted.

I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this. I don't think it's possible to get convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and FBI Director Kash Patel at the top, because they've effectively both perjured themselves by saying there's nobody else in the files.

Even Melania doesn't believe that. The first lady knows Jeffrey Epstein didn't act alone.

And here's the great thing, Kristen - whether I'm in Congress or not, the Epstein Files Transparency Act is law and it goes on for years. So if we can't get this attorney general and this FBI director to do the right thing, the next people who take those seats are obligated by law to release the files that these individuals are not releasing now."

AG Todd Blanche says the DOJ case against James Comey goes beyond the “8647” post.

“Agents didn’t just see the Instagram post and walk away.”

He says the indictment reflects broader evidence reviewed by FBI and Secret Service.

Details remain sealed due to grand jury rules.

U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche:

"I expect you will see charges filed shortly. The charges should be self-evident, given the conduct, but as you’ll hear, there will be multiple charges surrounding the shooting around the possession of firearms and anything else that we can get on this guy."
