#Ethics challenges continue to arise for #ToddBlanche & others in the administration, especially as their press conferences often highlight how federal law enforcement is carrying out Trump’s wishes, & even #retribution.
In his first press conference as acting attorney general, Blanche notably remarked, “I love you, sir,” to #Trump.

2 weeks after the firing of Tirrell, #ToddBlanche took the unusual step of interviewing #convicted #SexTrafficker #GhislaineMaxwell, fmr partner of the late Jeffrey #Epstein, while she serves time in prison. In that interview, Blanche asked Maxwell about her interactions with #Trump many years before he became president, & she claimed Trump had done no wrong.

…the #Trump admin has gutted both the DOJ’s career #ethics staff & its office of professional responsibility, & not replaced well-respected advisers for #DOJ headquarters who had over the years advised on some of the thorniest questions for leaders.
Tirrell, the ethics official who had briefed #ToddBlanche on recusal, was fired in July. He has since sued the Justice Department seeking compensation.

Among those targeted for possible prosecution is #JohnBrennan, the fmr #CIA director—a top priority for #Trump in his efforts to prosecute his political foes. Brennan denies wrongdoing. Last week, a spox told CNN #ToddBlanche had not recused from the Brennan investigation.
Inside the #DOJ, Blanche has delegated oversight of the so-called conspiracy investigation to top aides, & has not participated in meetings on the probe in recent months, acc/to people briefed.

The potential conflict is more acute now that #ToddBlanche has installed #JoediGenova, a fmr US attorney for DC, to reinvigorate an investigation into what #diGenova has outlined as a broad “conspiracy” against #Trump spanning from the 2017 #Russia #ElectionInterference probe to the aborted Special Counsel Jack Smith prosecutions that ended in 2024.
DiGenova is based in Fort Pierce, FL, a federal court with few major criminal cases aside from Trump’s.

“He is recused from many cases before DOJ. In any cases that are still ongoing where he previously represented someone, he is recused,” the spox said.
The DOJ didn’t specify which cases #ToddBlanche is recused from, but this was the first time they’ve publicly acknowledged that he has recused from some investigations.

The #DOJ’s regulations also prohibit his participation “in any criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship” with anyone who was involved in or has an interest in that investigation or prosecution. [so #Trump obvi]
A DOJ spox claimed that #ToddBlanche is complying with ethical obligations.

#ToddBlanche signed the #DOJ #ethics pledge laid out to him by Tirrell, acc/to the former ethics official & a document submitted to the Office of Government Ethics. That pledge included requirements for Blanche to not participate for at least a year in any of the department’s matters involving past clients of the Blanche Law Group, the small private law firm Blanche used to represent #Trump in the #criminal cases.

That includes some who were connected to the prosecutions of #Trump for mishandling #ClassifiedDocuments in Florida after his first term, & conspiring to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election. #ToddBlanche was Trump’s primary personal defense lawyer in both federal court cases, which were dismissed after he won reelection, but prior to being fully resolved in court.

Now serving as acting attorney general, #ToddBlanche finds himself in an ethical quandary. His previous role representing #Trump in #criminal prosecutions brought by the #DOJ means that he is switching sides, overseeing the department’s investigation of the former government officials whom Trump claims unfairly used the criminal justice system to target him.

The official conducting the briefing, Joseph Tirrell, handed #ToddBlanche & his then-top deputy #EmilBove, who was also in the conference room, a printed PowerPoint presentation on #ethics, acc/to a former senior #DOJ ethics official who described the meeting.
The meeting…is the first time Blanche was formally informed he would need to recuse himself from cases involving #Trump.

Acting AG #ToddBlanche was told last year to recuse from #DOJ matters involving #Trump
It was less than 2 weeks after Todd Blanche took on his role of deputy attorney general in March 2025 when the Justice Department’s top #ethics lawyer delivered some straightforward yet inconvenient news: His recusal from legal cases that involved Trump in his personal capacity was necessary.

Funny how each day now we see new Epstein revelations and consequences--across industries, across oceans--everywhere EXCEPT in the Trump Administration.
Come on, Republicans! Save what's left of your souls.
The entire world is watching.
