He got questions about prosecutions against the president's political foes, about how DOJ botched the release of files about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and about a nearly $2 billion slush fund the administration tried to set up to pay alleged victims of weaponization.
That includes people who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
Well, Todd Blanch basically said he's a creature of the Justice Department.
He's worked there as an intern, a paralegal, and a prosecutor.
And he told them serving in the Justice Department represents an American dream.
But Todd Blanch has really been dogged by questions about his relationship with President Trump.
Blanch, of course, worked as Trump's personal lawyer for a couple years.
He defended Trump in cases that involve election interference, classified documents, and Democrats say he's still serving Donald Trump instead of the Constitution.
Then, under questioning, Blanche seemed to make a slip of the tongue.
Here he is, being questioned by Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana.
Are you and President Trump friends?
Blanche went on to say he's not a yes man and that his time defending Trump should not define his long career.
Some of these senators actually worked inside the Justice Department earlier in their careers, so these issues are personal to them in a way.
Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island used to be a U.S.
attorney.
Whitehouse talked about how DOJ has lost stature with judges and juries over the past year.
Todd Blanche says on his watch, DOJ has done a lot to prosecute violent crime and keep Americans safe.
That's true.
There's one more day of hearings today that are going to feature witnesses arguing for and against Blanche's nomination.
But safe to say most of the Republicans on the panel seemed inclined to support him.
