Trump Appoints Personal Lawyers to Key Justice Department Roles

President-elect Donald Trump selects close allies, including his own attorneys, for top positions in the Justice Department.

Donald Trump has appointed three of his personal attorneys, Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, and John Sauer, to senior positions in the Justice Department.
These appointments aim to support Matt Gaetz, the controversial nominee for Attorney General, whose Senate confirmation is uncertain due to past allegations.
Blanche and Bove previously defended Trump in the Stormy Daniels case, which resulted in a historic conviction for the former president.
John Sauer, known for successfully arguing presidential immunity before the Supreme Court, will serve as Solicitor General.
Democratic Senator Dick Durbin has criticized Trump for allegedly using the Justice Department as a tool for personal vendettas against political opponents.
