Blanche assigned senior Department of Justice officials to politically charged probes into special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, January 6 rioters and the 2020 presidential election. The documents, obtained by American Oversight and first reported byThe New York Times, show Blanche's direct involvement, including scheduling weekly “weaponization” meetings and reprimanding officials. Controversial figures were appointed to lead these investigations, such as Jared Wise, a January 6 rioter and Emil Bove, who previously defended Trump in criminal cases.
