Acting Attorney General Takes New Approach in Role

Todd Blanche has changed his approach since taking the position of acting attorney general. Previously described by some as one of the more conventional political appointees under President Trump, he has adopted a more direct style in the role.

Blanche's earlier reputation centered on measured conduct in prior positions. The transition to acting attorney general has coincided with a reported change in his public actions and statements.

Officials continue to monitor how his approach develops in the coming weeks and months.
