Making the Case: A Side of Corruption - Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
June 25 | Todd Blanche lacks the impartiality and integrity to be US Attorney General.
In this episode, Senators Whitehouse (D-RI) and Blumenthal (D-CT) discuss the nomination of Todd Blanche to the role of our nation’s top prosecutor. From his botched handling of the Epstein files, to his weaponization of the Justice Department as Acting AG, Blanche has a pattern of placing his loyalty to President Trump above his duty to our country. As two former state Attorneys General and U.S. Attorneys, the Senators discuss the principles and morals that should define this role, the importance of an independent Judiciary, and more.
Sheldon Whitehouse represents Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate, where he champions policies to uphold American leadership in the world, protect our planet in a changing climate, and hold the powerful accountable.
