Todd Blanche

Todd Blanche is the Deputy Attorney General in the Trump administration, serving under Attorney General Pam Bondi. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement in two high-profile cases. First, he is the point person for the Justice Department's release of millions of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case. He has stated that the review of this case is over, despite accusations from Democrats that the DoJ is withholding legally required records. Blanche has also announced a federal civil rights investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti by immigration officers in Minneapolis, stating the department is examining all relevant factors. His role in these cases places him at the center of public scrutiny and political debate, particularly regarding transparency and accountability within the Justice Department.
