Trump's first year has proven he will do whatever it takes to help polluters, at all of our expense.

Washington, D.C. — In response to the Senate confirmation hearing of Todd Blanche for Attorney General, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) issued the following statement from Senior Director of Judiciary & Democracy Doug Lindner:
“This confirmation hearing has shown Todd Blanche will only continue to be Trump’s lawyer, upending generations of Justice Department ethics and independence. Blanche has consistently weaponized the DOJ while Deputy Attorney General for the president’s personal agenda. He has protected Trump’s friends and targeted his perceived enemies, has decimated environmental and civil rights enforcement, has attempted to use funds from the Justice Department to pay off Big Polluters, and tried to give nearly $2 billion taxpayer dollars to the president and his fellow insurrectionists.
No one is above the law, but Todd Blanche’s track record shows that he will help Donald Trump undermine the rule of law, the Constitution, and the people’s freedoms and protections. The Senate must reject this dangerous nomination and demand an Attorney General who works for the people, not just the president and his corporate billionaire friends.”
