President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former federal prosecutor Todd Blanche as his deputy attorney general. Blanche represented Trump in several of his legal cases.
He previously worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York.
"Todd is an excellent attorney who will be a crucial leader in the Justice Department, fixing what has been a broken System of Justice for far too long," Trump said in a statement.
If confirmed, Blanche would be the No. 2 official below the attorney general. Trump on Wednesday nominated former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general.
Trump also said Emil Bove, another lawyer who defended Trump in his legal cases, will serve as principal associate deputy attorney general, and will be the acting deputy attorney general while Blanche is being confirmed by the Senate.
