Pam Bondi may have been the Jeff Sessions of this Trump administration…. Now we got the Bill Barr of this administration, if only temporary with none other than former Democrat Todd Blanche.. This chode, who like Bondi has done nothing is a big fan of CNN obnoxious hack Kaitlin Collins, even going on dates with her. In late 2024 (before or around Blanche’s appointment), Collins and Blanche were spotted having lunch together in Palm Beach, Florida. Photos circulated online, sparking speculation and criticism—especially from some Trump supporters who viewed Blanche as a “lifelong Democrat” or insufficiently aggressive on investigations (e.g., claims he blocked certain probes or appointments). Critics tied the meeting to perceptions of Blanche being too cozy with mainstream media or not fully aligned with hardline priorities. Collins and Blanche have a history of professional interactions from the trial coverage, so the lunch was framed by some as standard sourcing, while others saw it as suspicious.
LEAKING? Trump deputy AG pick Todd Blanche lunching with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. He was a registered Democrat until this year.
