Amidst shifts in the Justice Department's hierarchy, President Donald Trump is set to nominate Todd Blanche as the new Attorney General. Blanche, who is already stepping in as the acting leader of the department, replaces Pam Bondi following her dismissal.

Trump said at a dinner at the White House that he plans to nominate Blanche formally, according to a video of the event posted on social media by a White House aide.

The president made the announcement during a dinner at the White House on Wednesday, saying he will nominate Blanche to become the “permanent attorney general.”

Blanche has led the Justice Department in an acting capacity since former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s firing in April.
