Who is Todd Blanche? What to know about Trump's new interim AG

President Donald Trump has ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi from her post, the White House confirmed on April 2, following mounting frustration with her performance, including her handling of investigative files related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a social media post, Trump praised Bondi as a "Great American Patriot and a loyal friend" and said she will move to a job in the private sector. Trump said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer, will lead the Justice Department in the interim.
