Trump AG pick says officials are working on measures to limit future investigations of Trump after 2029
Blanche says the Justice Department is adding internal barriers as critics warn the moves could shield Trump from future investigations.
- On Thursday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed he is installing "roadblocks" inside the Justice Department to shield President Donald Trump from potential prosecutions after he leaves office in 2029.
- Blanche told NewsNation host Katie Pavlich he aims to prevent Democrats from targeting the president and administration officials, citing "Project 2029"—Democratic plans to prosecute officials and ICE agents after the term ends.
- Last month, Blanche signed an addendum declaring the federal government "FOREVER BARRED" from pursuing any tax claim against Trump, part of a settlement in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.
- Critics argue these moves transform the Department of Justice into a "personal protection service" for the president; Blanche previously defended a nearly $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund before Senate Republicans revolted.
- Blanche, a former personal attorney for Trump who represented him in his criminal cases, currently struggles to secure Senate support for his nomination to permanently lead the Department of Justice.
