Todd Blanche: I represented President Trump the Manhattan D.A. Case and in Jack Smith's prosecutions… There is not a single man or woman at the DOJ who had anything to do with those prosecutions.

Schlapp: How many have been canned?

Blanche: Over 200 either left before we came in because they knew it was coming or were fired or took early retirement. They are no longer employed by this department.


___New Jersey Governor Chris Christie responded to Blanche’s comments:

“This is the single, most damaging thing to the long term stability of our institutions that has happened in the second Trump term. The dismantling of the Department of Justice and the greater partisan activity, as the Deputy Attorney General just admitted…the only reason these people were let go was because they followed the direction of the rightfully appointed Attorney General of the United States, confirmed by the United States Senate, to conduct investigations. And because they did that, they’re being fired.”
