Todd Blanche on Whether the DoJ Is Independent from the W.H.: It ‘Is Part of the Executive’

EXCERPT:

COONS: “Is the Department of Justice that you are running independent from the White House?”
BLANCHE: “The Department of Justice, like every single department in the executive, is part of the executive. I mean, Article 2 of the Constitution gives the power of the executive to President Trump. So we certainly operate with integrity. We certainly operate in the single mindset to serve the American people and do the right thing. But I am a member, if confirmed, I will be a member of the cabinet. I'm serving in the acting capacity that way now, just like the other cabinet members. And President Trump can fire me whenever he wants.”
