Exclusive: 77 Former DOJ Officials Urge Senate To Confirm Todd Blanche As Attorney General
By M.D. Kittle | July 14, 2026
'His exemplary record … demonstrates he is the right man for the right time,' the letter from the former high-ranking officials states.
odd Blanche is "the right man for the right time," a letter from 77 former Department of Justice officials declares in urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to support President Donald Trump's pick to serve as the 88th U.S. Attorney General.
The former high-ranking DOJ officials — spanning multiple administrations — sent the letter Sunday to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Sen. Dick Durban, D-Ill., in advance of Blanche’s confirmation hearing, beginning Wednesday morning.
Blanche has served as acting U.S. attorney general since early April, following Attorney General Pam Bondi's abrupt departure.
"His exemplary record as Deputy Attorney General — and now as Acting Attorney General — demonstrates he is the right man for the right time," states the letter signed by dozens of former DOJ deputies, assistant AGs, U.S. attorneys, and others. The group includes Gary Barnett, former acting chief of staff and senior counselor to the attorney general; Ketan Bhirud, former associate deputy attorney general; Rachel Bissex, former deputy chief of staff and counselor to the attorney general; and Jonathan D. Brightbill, former acting assistant attorney general.
The recommendation notes Blanche's rise up the ranks, beginning with his service with the DOJ as a paralegal in the Criminal Division and at the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. He did so while going to law school at night and supporting his young family, the letter states. He went on to become an assistant U.S. attorney in the SDNY's violent-crimes division, "where he prosecuted serious offenses for eight years," ultimately serving as co-chief of the unit. He “supervised dozens of prosecutors handling murder, kidnapping, and other violent crimes."
"This hands-on experience as both a line prosecutor and supervisor gives him an unparalleled understanding of how the Department actually operates — from the streets to headquarters," the letter asserts.
'Clarity and Resolve'
A Trump loyalist, Blanche successfully served as the president's legal counsel during the left's relentless lawfare campaigns against Trump and his allies — political witch hunts stopping at nothing to stop the businessman's return to the White House. Blanche began Trump's second term as the DOJ's deputy attorney general.
As the letter notes, in his role as acting AG, Blanche has overseen the day-to-day operations of a department with more than 100,000 employees in the main DOJ office, the FBI, the DEA, U.S. Marshals, ATF, and 93 U.S. Attorneys' Offices.
"Under his leadership, the Department has advanced President Trump's core priorities with clarity and resolve: confronting illegal immigration and dismantling the transnational criminal organizations that exploit our borders; combating the fentanyl crisis and violent crime that devastate American communities; and protecting taxpayers through aggressive fraud enforcement," the letter states.
Blanche "launched the National Fraud Enforcement Division, which has already driven the recovery of billions of dollars stolen from programs like Medicare and COVID relief, while prioritizing the prosecution of those who prey on American taxpayers," the support letter states.

Editor's note: There is a loose contextual overlap from the fact that Todd Blanche, if confirmed as Attorney General, would lead the Department of Justice responsible for carrying out any large-scale declassification efforts or accelerated prosecutions referenced in John Solomon's view below. Both the above republished The Federalist article and the below transcript sit within the same broader narrative of the Trump administration's efforts to restore what supporters view as "accountability and transparency" at the DOJ after years of alleged politicization. While The Federalist article focuses narrowly on endorsements for Blanche's nomination and his prosecutorial track record, Solomon's remarks below speculate on future operational speed ("Hypersonic Clarity") under that new leadership. This creates an indirect link through shared themes of DOJ reform and justice priorities. There is no direct connection in timing, content, or specific initiatives. "Hypersonic clarity" is a term that John Solomon came up with meaning the FBI has no information on this.
There Will Be a Speed of Disclosure and a Speed of Prosecution

TRANSCRIPT
John Solomon: I'm going to give a codename. I know the FBI likes codenames, so I'm going to make one up today. I think the President of the United States in the next couple of weeks will announce an operation I would call the codename "Hypersonic Clarity".
We're going to get a level of transparency and a release and declassification of documents unparalleled in American history. The President is setting up something that I think will be unbelievable. There will be a speed-of-lightning, a speed-of-sound to release of documents.
And those documents will help this prosecutorial team in Miami that's doing this hard work to not have to do secret proceedings and secret classified proceedings, because the documents will be unclassified. The public will have transparency.
The prosecutors will have – that will make it easier, I think, for the prosecutors to find the bad guys and sort the good guys from the bad guys without having to have months and years of secret proceedings, what are called the "Secrecy Act Hearings", which slow everything down. They're going to un-gum the trail and things are going to move quickly.
I do think there will be some accountability. There will never be enough for what we went through the last 12 years. We were deprived of a fair election because of this meddling and these PSYOP operations. We've been kept from information about vulnerabilities in our election system, which I'm going to say, I have some good stories on that next week.
But transparency can speed the prosecutorial accountability project. It's something that the Deep State did well to keep Bill Barr from achieving before 2020. I don't think this Justice Department is going to fall for that.
I think there will be a speed of disclosure and a speed of prosecution that we didn't see in past years.
The Grand Conspiracy case will be the ultimate thing. Can they make that? To get a Grand Conspiracy, Benny, you're going to have to do what prosecutors do when they take down a mob boss, right? Remember they had to flip Sammy the Bull to get the Gambino family.
They're going to have to take a capo in this intelligence/law enforcement machinery and flip them. And if you get one big name person and you flip them, maybe a Deputy FBI Director, a senior FBI official, a senior Intelligence Council official, and you say, "Hey, we'll make a deal with the Devil, because you’re going to testify up and down," I think they'd make that conspiracy case in a powerful way.
And this begins to change very quickly. So keep an eye. Those are the things I'm watching for as a reporter in the next few weeks.
