John Kennedy asked whether he and President Donald Trump were friends. Blanche replied, "I'm his lawyer—was his lawyer," before immediately correcting himself to reflect his current role in the Justice Department. The exchange quickly became one of the most discussed moments of the hearing. Blanche, who previously served as Trump's personal defense attorney before joining the Justice Department, is seeking Senate confirmation as Attorney General. During the hearing, lawmakers questioned him on his independence from the president, the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and several other controversial issues. #ToddBlanche #DonaldTrump #Trump #Senate Todd Blanche,Donald Trump,Trump,Todd Blanche hearing,Senate hearing,Attorney General,AG nominee,John Kennedy,Senate Judiciary Committee,Trump lawyer,I'm his lawyer was his lawyer,Todd Blanche slip,Todd Blanche Trump,DOJ,Justice Department,US politics,Confirmation hearing,Capitol Hill,Washington DC,Political news,Breaking news,Trump news,US Senate,Congress,Epstein files,Attorney General hearing,Republicans,Democrats
