In the past, even the suggestion of White House influence was seen as scandalous. <\/p>\n<p>But Blanche sang a completely different tune when asked about DOJ\u2019s independence by Sen. Chris Coons on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs the Department of Justice that you are running independent from the White House?\u201d the Delaware Democrat asked. <\/p>\n<p>Blanche did not try to confirm or emphasize the independence of the Justice Department while under oath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Justice, like every single department in the executive, is part of the executive. I mean, Article II of the Constitution gives the power of the executive to President Trump,\u201d Blanche said. <\/p>\n<p>The acting attorney general went on to claim that the department operates \u201cwith integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe certainly operate in the single mindset to serve the American people and do the right thing,\u201d Blanche added. <\/p>\n<p>But Blanche said that if he is confirmed, he would be \u201ca member of the Cabinet\u201d and noted that Trump could fire him whenever the president wants.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3584\">Trump Goon Squirms At Dem Star\u2019s 2020 Questions<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all serve at the pleasure of President Trump in this administration,\u201d Blanche said. <\/p>\n<p>Coons observed that he believed Blanche was Trump\u2019s nominee to fill the seat after Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired because the president was unhappy with his former attorney general\u2019s ability to secure convictions against perceived political enemies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Blanche responded. <\/p>\n<p>The day before Blanche\u2019s Senate confirmation hearing, The New York Times revealed Blanche has been spearheading the president\u2019s retribution campaign within the Justice Department. <\/p>\n<p>Blanche was nominated and confirmed as Trump\u2019s deputy attorney general after Trump was elected for a second term. Before that, Blanche worked as a personal criminal attorney and represented Trump when he was tried and convicted of fraud in 2024. <\/p>\n<p>During his confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Blanche was repeatedly accused by Democrats of acting as Trump\u2019s personal attorney while serving in the role of acting attorney general rather than as the top law enforcement officer of the U.S. beholden to the Constitution. <\/p>\n<p>Blanche did nothing to relieve them of their concerns or reject the accusation on Wednesday, and even let his views on his relationship with Trump slip in another revealing exchange with Republican Sen. John Kennedy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you and President Trump friends?\u201d Kennedy asked. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m his lawyer,\u201d Blanche responded without missing a beat. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas his lawyer\u2014and now I\u2019m the deputy attorney general,&#8221; Blanche quickly amended, but it was already out there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI met him as his criminal defense attorney. I\u2019m not sure that there\u2019s very many people who\u2019ve ever had a criminal defense attorney who calls that person their friend,\u201d Blanche said. <\/p>\n<p>But as Ranking Member Dick Durbin pointed out in his opening statement at the start of the hearing, Blanche has previously declared publicly on camera his loyalty to Trump. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>At a press conference in April, Blanche said even if Trump nominated someone else to be attorney general, his message to the president would be \u201cI will say, \u2018Thank you very much.
