Matt Gaetz, Toddy Blanche, & John Sauer, Trump ‘rewards’ his defense attorneys with top DOJ roles

Nov 15, 2024

With the Transition period underway in the US, President-elect Donald Trump has been making a flurry of appointments for his 2.0 cabinet. The current picks from Trump show his nomination with whom he has worked closely and who have been loyal to him. Till now Donald Trump has picked three members of his criminal defense team to serve in senior roles at the Justice Department. The three picks of Trump for the Justice Department are Matt Gaetz, Toddy Blanche, and John Sauer. Trump’s choices for top positions in the Justice Department show his dependency on inner-circle allies. With heads of several departments being nominated, the Department of Justice has been on Trump’s key agenda. During his election campaigns, Donald Trump intended to make the Justice Department more “accountable” to the President. He vowed to radically reshape the Justice Department, which has drawn his ire over its investigations and prosecutions.
