Trump Fills Government Posts with His Personal Lawyers, Including Acting AG

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, revealed the closeness of their relationship at his Senate confirmation hearing when he said "I'm his lawyer" before correcting himself to "was his lawyer." The slip highlighted a broader pattern of Trump appointing his personal attorneys to senior government roles. Critics argue the practice blurs the line between the president's personal legal interests and the public interest.
