United States Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is “very frustrated” and “embarrassed” by the latest failures of the DOJ, so much so that he is reportedly encouraging an internal investigation of Trump admin officials.
MS Now investigative reporter Carol Leonnig appeared on the network on Thursday to further discuss a bombshell report that two Trump officials are being investigated by the FBI.
The host asked of Leonnig, “I‘m curious though because this is a new development that I think I was not expecting today. This is the DOJ investigating two Trump officials. And how did that come about? Because so far what we’ve seen is DOJ has done the investigating that Donald Trump wants in terms of politics, how did the DOJ open an investigation and then get one approved into two of Donald Trump’s own officials?”
“So great question,” Leonnig began. “Our sources say that the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, is well aware of this probe, not technically running this investigation, but aware of it and familiar with it and not in any way interfering with it, but possibly even encouraging it.”
She added, “You know, there is a claim by some of our sources that Blanche and some of the people around him at the top layers of the Department of Justice have have been very frustrated with the methods used by Ed Martin and Bill Pulte and their frustration about the possibility that these cases are not solid, the ones that both men have been pushing despite them being Trump allies and doing what Trump really would like, which is going after his perceived enemies, his critics.”
“In this case, it is a problem, according to our sources, for Todd Blanche, to have cases that aren’t being handled very properly. And as we saw, there were some unforced errors,” she noted on Thursday. ” In another case in the eastern district of Virginia yesterday. We’re told Blanche is a little bit embarrassed about all of that.”
