Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche rejected claims that President Donald Trump’s administration is weaponizing prosecutors, calling it a “war” against conservative lawyers and liberal judges blocking Trump’s policies. Blanche spoke at the Federalist Society’s annual conference, where he criticized liberal judges for being more political than impartial and argued that the system is set up to favor activist groups over efficient decision-making. He also defended the Justice Department’s move to insulate its attorneys from ethics complaints and complained about media bias in covering Trump’s immigration actions.
