There are few lawyers more willing to jump when Donald Trump says leap than Pam Bondi, but Todd Blanche wants the world to know he’s in that number.
During a Sunday stop by Fox News, the acting attorney general supported the repeatedly debunked idea that the 2020 presidential election Trump lost to Joe Biden was rigged. “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo played Blanche a clip of Chief of Staff Susie Wiles teasing the idea that new revelations regarding the election were forthcoming.
