Senator Lisa Murkowski is turning against Todd Blanche’s AG nomination, slamming the DOJ as politicized and weaponized under the current administration—citing Epstein files, immunity deals for the President, anti-abortion statements, and politically targeted probes. Despite a 12-10 Senate Judiciary Committee vote to advance his nomination (after two GOP holdouts switched), Murkowski remains unconvinced, citing an Epstein survivor’s testimony that Blanche ignored victims for months. His defense? He was restricted from direct meetings but worked through lawyers. Murkowski concludes the nation needs an AG who can rein in the administration’s worst impulses—but she doesn’t believe Blanche has the backbone to do it.
