WASHINGTON—President-Elect Donald Trump on Nov. 14 announced three figures to help lead the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ), including his attorney Todd Blanche for deputy attorney general. Trump also announced his selection of Dean John Sauer as U.S.
Solicitor General, and his attorney Emil Bove for principal associate deputy attorney general. Blanche defended Trump in his falsified documents case before New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan this year. “Todd is going to do a great job as we, Make America Great Again.
” Trump said Bove, who has helped him in multiple cases, is set to serve as principal associate deputy attorney general but will serve as acting deputy attorney general while Blanche goes through the Senate confirmation process. “Emil is a tough and strong attorney, who will be a crucial part of the Justice Department, rooting out corruption and crime,” Trump said. Sauer was Trump’s lead counsel in his immunity case before the U.
S. Supreme Court, which ruled that the former president is immune from prosecution for official acts in office..
