(CNN) — President Trump is soon expected to nominate Todd Blanche to be attorney general, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The nomination could be announced as soon as tonight, the source said.
The White House would not confirm the president’s decision, but in a statement to CNN, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump has a great relationship with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and is very pleased with the job he’s doing so far.”
She added, “Todd Blanche is an American patriot who fearlessly fought against the Democrats’ unprecedented lawfare campaign on behalf of President Trump. The President’s entire team at the Department of Justice is doing a great job advocating for sanity, law and order, and policies that keep Americans safe.”
CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
