Shifty Schiff came after Blanche--wrongly accused

Todd Blanche Fires Back at Adam Schiff: ‘You Can’t Accuse Me… and Then Lie’

Todd Blanche had a tense moment with Sen. Adam Schiff during Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing.

Blanche, President Trump’s pick for attorney general, appeared before the panel as senators pressed him on his record, his work at the Justice Department, and his past role as Trump’s personal attorney.

Trump announced last month that he had nominated Blanche to serve as attorney general. The night before the hearing, Trump praised Blanche and urged the Senate to confirm him.

“Todd Blanche is doing a PHENOMENAL job as Acting Attorney General of the United States. Under Todd’s incredible leadership at DOJ, Murder is down to the LOWEST level since 1900, and we just saw the biggest one year drop in RECORDED HISTORY,” Trump said on Tuesday evening.

Schiff used part of his questioning to focus on volume II of Jack Smith’s report involving Trump. He accused Blanche of having a conflict of interest because Blanche previously represented Trump before joining the Justice Department.

Schiff also suggested Blanche played a role in keeping that portion of Smith’s report from being released to the public. Blanche did not let the accusation slide.
