05/15/26 Blanche Checks

from Brett Breaks Things

Today we're looking at Todd Blanche's rapid rise from Trump's personal lawyer to one of the most powerful figures inside the Justice Department — and the growing questions about whether he's acting as America's top law enforcement official or Trump's personal cleanup crew. From recusal concerns and threats to subpoena reporters, to Raskin demanding answers about alleged payments to fired FBI agents, Blanche is becoming the face of a DOJ built around loyalty. Plus, Trump blows past a stock-trade disclosure deadline while Trump Mobile quietly rewrites the fine print on its gold phone grift.
