ROB SCHMITZ, HOST:Before dawn today, the Senate confirmed President Trump's controversial nominee for U.S. attorney general, Todd Blanche, who was previously Trump's personal attorney. Before he was acting attorney general and deputy attorney general, as you said, he was Trump's personal attorney...SCHMITZ: Right. And there was a bit of a dramatic reveal on the Senate floor when Cassidy explained why he would support Blanche. It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively under President Trump. SPRUNT: Ultimately, the Senate approved Todd Blanche as America's attorney general in a 50-to-49 vote, the narrowest of margins.
