JUDGES JUST CAME FOR BLANCHE [View all]

Scott Dworkin

Todd Blanche spent years as Trump’s personal defense lawyer—the man who sat next to Trump in court and fought to keep him out of prison. Trump rewarded him with the top law enforcement job in the country: acting Attorney General of the United States.

On Sunday, 101 former federal and state judges decided that wasn’t going to go unanswered and filed a 73-page complaint against him with the New York State Bar.

According to the complaint, Blanche created a $1.776 billion fund to shield Trump and his family from IRS liability. It alleges he used the DOJ to target Trump’s political enemies. And it charges he failed to release all of the Epstein files—which mention Trump more than 38,000 times.

Norm Eisen, co-founder of Democracy Defenders Fund, put it plainly: “Todd Blanche has spent the last year and a half demonstrating loyalty to one man: Donald Trump.”
