Trump Condemns GOP Senator Who Refused to Back Attorney General Nominee The confirmation of Todd Blanche as attorney general has exposed deep divisions within the Republican Party and raised questions about the independence of the Department of Justice.
At the center of this controversy is Sen. Lisa Murkowski's decision to oppose Blanche's nomination.
Trump labeled her a "traitor" on social media, claiming she had voted for Merrick Garland as attorney general under President Biden but would now be backing an individual he deemed too partisan.
