(Jonathan Ernst\/Reuters)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Senate narrowly voted to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general early Saturday morning, cementing President Donald Trump\u2019s former criminal defense lawyer as the head of the Justice Department despite rare pushback from Republicans that had left his nomination in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) provided the crucial vote for Blanche as two other Republicans \u2014 Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine \u2014 sided with Democrats against the nominee. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), who has been absent from the Senate since he suffered a fall in June, missed the vote.<\/p>\n<p>The 50-49 vote at 4:31 a.m. \u2014 right before the Senate left for a five-week recess \u2014 gives Blanche the imprimatur of Senate confirmation in a job he has held on an acting basis since Trump fired former attorney general Pam Bondi in April.<\/p>\n<p>But it hardly amounted to a full-throated endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>Cassidy, despite voting in Blanche\u2019s favor, joined Murkowski and Collins in publicly raising questions about the politicization of the Justice Department under Trump. The three also voiced concerns about Blanche\u2019s role in a controversial deal struck this spring to resolve the president\u2019s legal claims against the IRS \u2014 an agreement that included a now-scuttled proposal for a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who claimed they were victims of political prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p>Two other Republican senators \u2014 John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina \u2014 expressed similar reservations and threatened earlier in the process to vote against the nomination, although both ultimately backed Blanche.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining his decision, Cassidy described it as a choice between Blanche \u2014 who before his time as Trump\u2019s personal lawyer had spent years as a federal prosecutor and a partner at a prestigious Manhattan law firm \u2014 and the possibility that Trump might pick someone worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Blanche is not perfect, and he will tell you this, but the choice is not between perfection and Mr. Blanche,\u201d Cassidy said on the Senate floor Friday. \u201cIt is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department as effectively under President Trump and who, indeed, may not be as good as Mr. Blanche.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Blanche said after the vote that he was \u201cdeeply honored by the trust and confidence President Trump has placed in me\u201d and thanked the Senate for staying late for the vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the dedicated public servants of the Department of Justice,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DAGToddBlanche\/status\/2086015509821038750\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DAGToddBlanche\/status\/2086015509821038750\">he said<\/a> in a post to social media, \u201cthank you for your work each day to uphold the law and keep our country safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the confirmation fight now behind him, Blanche sheds the \u201cacting\u201d part of his title and, with it, any doubt about his authority as the head of a cabinet agency that Trump has made central to his second-term agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Since returning to the White House last year, the president has eroded the Justice Department\u2019s long tradition of independence, demanding it pursue prosecutions of his political enemies and directing resources toward rewarding his allies.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the department has been ravaged by vacancies, low morale among career staff, and increasing credibility problems with federal judges.<\/p>\n<p>Blanche, first as Bondi\u2019s No. 2 and then as the department\u2019s acting leader, has played a central role in that transformation, although his boosters in Congress have praised his efforts to step up fraud enforcement, prosecute illegal immigration and combat violent crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica is safer with Todd Blanche at the helm of the Justice Department,\u201d said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Republican chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=8868\">After bitter primary, El-Sayed faces daunting task of unifying Democrats<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cassidy called aspects of Blanche\u2019s track record troubling, but he cited the bond Blanche built with Trump as he defended him in four criminal cases during his years out of office. The senator said he hoped that trust would strengthen Blanche\u2019s ability to talk the president out of decisions that run contrary to the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>But Democrats insist that, at every turn, Blanche has proven unable \u2014 or unwilling \u2014 to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>Since becoming acting attorney general, Blanche has defended the president\u2019s \u201cright\u201d to intervene in criminal investigations and his controversial pardons of those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He has breathed new life into probes of Trump critics, including investigations of former FBI Director James B. Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan and Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide from the president\u2019s first term who testified against him in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis nation deserves an Attorney General who loves the Constitution more than he loves the President. Sadly, for our nation, Todd Blanche, is not that person,\u201d Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>But it is the out-of-court deal Blanche announced this spring to resolve a lawsuit the president filed against the IRS earlier this year, over the leak of his tax returns to the media, that has drawn the most unified criticism from lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the taxpayer-backed nearly $1.8 billion payout fund, the deal also extended unusual tax protections to Trump, two of his sons and their businesses, shielding them from any preexisting tax audits.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers from both parties decried the agreement, describing the proposed payouts as a \u201cslush fund\u201d designed to reward Trump\u2019s allies, and denouncing the tax provisions as a corrupt exercise in self-dealing from a president who has often complained of burdensome audits.<\/p>\n<p>Facing bipartisan pressure, Blanche walked back plans for the fund. But Cornyn and Tillis, both of whom are not running for reelection after Trump declined to support them, demanded written assurances from Blanche that the president would not later reverse that decision before they agreed to support his nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Blanche ultimately relented, issuing statements late last Sunday declaring the fund officially dead and clarifying that the deal\u2019s tax provisions protected the Trumps only from past tax audits and would not prevent the IRS from reviewing their finances in the future.<\/p>\n<p>But critics have questioned whether Blanche\u2019s written pledges hold any legal weight, given that they were not signed by Trump and his legal team, and could be ignored by the president at any point.<\/p>\n<p>Murkowski raised that possibility in a statement Friday announcing her decision to vote against Blanche\u2019s nomination. The only reason the payout fund was now off the table, she said, was because Blanche needed Senate support for his nomination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we vote, that will end, and there is no telling what the future holds,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country needs an attorney general who will check the worst impulses of this administration,\u201d Murkowski added. \u201cI hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=8867\">Window closes for Ohio GOP to replace Rep.
