Ex-DOJ Lawyer Warns Senators Against Todd Blanche Nomination
During Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing, former pardon attorney Liz Oyer condemned his testimony, stating that Blanche fired her for refusing to recommend restoring firearms rights for a Trump ally convicted of domestic violence. Oyer asserted that Blanche’s claim that her termination was unrelated to this refusal was “provably false,” supported by documented evidence. She urged senators to reject Blanche, arguing that his actions suggested he would run the Department of Justice as Donald Trump’s personal law firm, utilizing its powers for personal vendettas and damaging the department’s credibility.
