Donald Trump picked members of his defense team for top Justice dept roles last thursday. His main lawyer Todd Blanche got nominated as deputy attorney-general - a position that manages 110k+ workers and FBI supervision
John Sauer who helped Trump with Supreme-court immunity arguments will become solicitor-general (the person who speaks for govt in Supreme-court cases). These moves came right after Matt Gaetz got picked for attorney-general position
The ex-president chose Blanche - who defended him in a hush-money case earlier this year: his work will be done before Jan 2024 when Trump plans to return. Its important to note that Blanche was a fed prosecutor before joining Trumps team. “Todd is an excellent attorney who will fix our broken System of Justice“ Trump wrote in his statement
Todd is a highly credible nominee for deputy attorney general
The nominees need Senate ok to start work; meanwhile Emil Bove will be acting deputy. All these changes show how Trump wants to change the dept that looked into his cases - he picked people who helped defend him in court (including those 34 charges about business records and classified docs issues)
