Washington – Todd Blanche, former personal attorney to President Donald Trump and former Deputy Attorney General of the United States, was sworn in as the new Attorney General on Monday during a private ceremony in the Oval Office, attended by the President. 'Congratulations to a great lawyer and an even better person!' wished government press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a message on social media platform X, along with a brief video of the official appointment, which also featured several Republican Party members, including Vice President JD Vance. Blanche, who served as acting Attorney General following the dismissal of Pam Bondi in April, led the Washington delegation at the inauguration of new Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella, an ally of Trump, last Friday. Born in Denver, Colorado in 1974, the new head of the Department of Justice developed his career as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York and later as a defense attorney in high-profile cases.
