President Donald Trump announced on June 4, 2026, that he intends to make Todd Blanche's role as acting attorney general permanent. During an event at the White House, Trump stated, "Tomorrow I’m instructing Dan [Scavino] and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go, I think, very quickly, that we are going to make him permanent Attorney General." A video of Trump's remarks was shared by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, who congratulated Blanche and the Justice Department. Blanche has served as acting attorney general since April, following Trump's decision to replace Pam Bondi, who faced criticism for her handling of certain cases. Trump has expressed confidence in Blanche's abilities, describing him as a "very talented guy". For Blanche to officially become attorney general, he would require Senate confirmation, having previously been confirmed as deputy attorney general in a 52-46 vote.
