Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has secured the endorsement of the Western States Sheriffs' Association ahead of his confirmation hearing, while also meeting with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to discuss his nomination. The sheriffs' group, representing 19 Western states, praised Blanche's experience and commitment to law enforcement, citing his work on border security and rural policing. Meanwhile, Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, expressed support for Blanche's nomination, highlighting his responsiveness to oversight requests. However, Blanche faces opposition from nearly all Democrats and questions about his handling of past controversies, including the Epstein files and Trump's proposed anti-weaponization fund.
