On November 14th, according to two informed sources, US President elect Trump is seriously considering nominating his chief lawyer Todd Blanche as the next Deputy Attorney General, the second highest position in the Department of Justice. Blanche has been Trump's attorney for the past 18 months and defended him in this year's Manhattan criminal hush money trial. During this period, his relationship with Trump became increasingly close, often appearing by his side in Palm Beach or during Trump's travels. Due to his closeness and Trump's trust in him, it is widely expected in Trump's inner circle that if he wins, Blanche may follow him into the federal government. Trump has previously announced that he has chosen Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, which could trigger a difficult confirmation battle in the Republican controlled Senate.
