Grassley Statement on Meeting with Attorney General Nominee Todd Blanche

WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) issued a statement following his meeting with Todd Blanche, President Trump's nominee to be Attorney General.

"I appreciated the opportunity to sit down again with Todd Blanche, who's spent the last year and a half supporting President Trump's mission of law and order as Deputy Attorney General and now Acting Attorney General. Blanche is prepared to build on that success and continue working hard to keep American families safe as the next Attorney General.

"In all my years of congressional oversight, this Department of Justice has been the most responsive to my oversight requests - but there's still more work to be done and more records to be produced. I expect Blanche to respond to my outstanding requests for records, so the American people get the transparency and accountability they deserve.

"I look forward to moving ahead with Blanche's nomination, and anticipate chairing his hearing in July."
