'What happened to you?' Trump nominee's 'staggering' ethical lapses under fire at hearing

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faced sharp questions about ethical lapses over a deal that shielded his former client, President Donald Trump, from IRS scrutiny.At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Blanche, the former Trump attorney who now leads the Justice Department, was asked about his role in crafting government deals that benefited the president.In May, Blanche signed a settlement that permanently barred the Internal Revenue Service from auditing Trump or pursuing past tax claims against him, his family, or his businesses.A federal judge in Miami voided the deal Monday and referred Blanche to the New York State Bar for potential discipline.At the hearing, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) pressed Blanche on whether the settlement also shielded Trump from liability tied to his criminal conviction for falsifying business records."You put your name on this. That absolves the president of tax liabilities in the past. The president was convicted in the case you represented him in," Schiff said."That's not what he was convicted of," Blanche replied."If the president is conspiring with others to falsify business records to help them cheat on taxes, he is also exposed to liability," Schiff pressed. "You know that as well as I do.""He can't be audited for that," Blanche said."Of course he can," Schiff fired back.Schiff then turned to the settlement itself, calling it a "staggering example of self-dealing" by a man who had represented Trump personally before joining the government to represent the IRS."You made the decision to not defend the IRS and the Justice Department. You made the decision to sign this slush fund agreement," Schiff said."We made the decision to settle the case. Correct," Blanche replied."The court found it was a sham," Schiff said. "What happened to the Todd Blanche who was a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York? What happened to the prosecutor people had respect for?"Schiff said Blanche had become "someone willing to say the president has both the right and the duty to prosecute his political enemies.""What happened to you, Todd Blanche?" Schiff demanded. "I think Robert Caro had it right when he said that power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals.""I am the same exact person I was when I was a federal prosecutor in the SDNY," Blanche insisted, using the abbreviation for the Southern District of New York. "Do the right thing, enforce the laws, and put bad guys in jail."

'They pressed him': Analyst flags 'pretty extraordinary' moment from Jay Clayton hearing

An analyst on Wednesday described a significant moment at the Senate confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence nominee, Jay Clayton. CNN correspondent Brian Todd told CNN anchor Jake Tapper about Clayton's refusal to answer questions about who won the 2020 election and his response to former DNI Tulsi Gabbard at the FBI raids at the Fulton County election offices."They pressed him, Jake, on Tulsi Gabbard's visit to Georgia this past January that was just so controversial, widely reported," Todd said. "But in a pretty extraordinary exchange, Jay Clayton claimed to know little or nothing about that trip.""The first time you learned that Director Gabbard was present at that raid was in my office yesterday?" Ossoff asked. "It was the first time that, in my recollection, I've thought about it recently. Now, was I aware of it before?" Clayton said.Ossoff interjected, saying, "What?""Your answers lack credibility," Ossoff added.Warner pressed Clayton to respond."Now, if even if you weren't aware, in preparation for this hearing, I would have thought, 'Hey, we got to be ready for the Gabbard questions," Warner said.But Clayton disagreed."Look, I don't want to. It just wasn't something that was on my mind before the preparation for this hearing," Clayton said.

Trump nominee for intelligence post refuses to answer questions during hearing

Walter "Jay" Clayton III, President Donald Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence, faced intense questioning during his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday, repeatedly refusing to answer direct questions from Democrats. When Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) asked Clayton who won the 2020 election, Clayton refused to engage, saying, "I'm not gonna do this with you." "This is a job interview," Ossoff replied and asked again, "Who won the 2020 election?""I think I've answered the question," Clayton said, "We can keep doing this."Clayton also dodged questions about former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's presence at an FBI raid on a Georgia elections office at Trump's direction. As Ossoff continued questioning Clayton's credibility, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton (R-AK) repeatedly gaveled him down, yelling, "Your time has expired!" before Ossoff called Clayton's candidacy "disqualifying." Clayton faces additional scrutiny for subpoenaing New York Times reporters who covered Air Force One security flaws, according to NPR.Watch the video below.
