Blanche Says He Will Not Pledge to Always Act Independently of White House
Todd Blanche, the newly confirmed attorney general, refused to say that he would always act independently of the White House in an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“There’s a big difference between saying, we will always do our job and investigate any case and act independently of the White House. No, I’m not going to pledge that. And no attorney general should ever pledge that.” “Are you and President Trump friends? “I’m his lawyer, was his lawyer, and now I’m the deputy attorney general.” “This narrative that’s mostly pushed by the left and pushed by the media, that the president is going to pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is completely a false narrative. Not true, will not happen and hasn’t happened.”
