Trump Legal Goon Faces Backlash Over Epstein Cover-Up
HE'S A GOONER!
A bombshell report has amplified concerns about Trumps former personal attorney.

Opponents argue he is not fit for the job, pointing to his handling of the Epstein files, which identified numerous victims but kept the names of potential co-conspirators hidden, as well as other controversies, such as Trumps $1.8 billion anti-weaponization slush fund and the backroom deal giving the president immunity from continuing IRS audits.

On Wednesday, Blumenthal described Blanche as Trumps personal fixer and John Mitchell on steroids, a reference to Richard Nixons attorney general, who was ultimately convicted for his role in the Watergate scandal.
Traci Feit Love, the founder and executive director of Lawyers for Good Government, said more than 2000 attorneys had already signed a petition calling for the Senate to reject the appointment, and many more were expected to join the push.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse also noted that 35 retired federal judges have also filed a motion alleging Blanche committed fraud upon the court as part of that settlement, calling it most egregious conduct and potentially grounds for immediate suspension or disbarment in New York.
