Murkowski Blocks Blanche for AG | Anchorage News

Senator Lisa Murkowski just flipped to no on confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General, slamming his record and the Justice Department’s recent moves — including immunity deals for Trump and handling of sensitive files — saying the country needs a true check on presidential power. With key GOP votes already against him and only Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy left who could swing it, pressure is mounting. Blanche made concessions like halting a political prosecution fund to get support, but Murkowski doubts they’ll stick or that he can lead the DOJ differently. Trump fired back publicly, calling her “not good,” turning this into a high-stakes showdown where Cassidy’s vote may decide whether Blanche becomes the nation’s top law enforcer.
