Donald Trump’s former personal lawyers are now overseeing a critical Justice Department investigation—a situation rife with glaring conflicts of interest. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who once defended Trump during his first impeachment, appointed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche—another former Trump attorney—to gather testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell, a key witness in the Jeffrey Epstein case who has reportedly sought a presidential pardon.
This arrangement is a blatant affront to the integrity of the justice system. Having Trump’s own ex-lawyers play pivotal roles in an investigation that could implicate him virtually guarantees a predetermined outcome.
The ties between Trump and these officials are deeply troubling. Bondi previously represented him during impeachment proceedings, while Blanche has been a central figure in Trump’s legal defense, handling high-profile cases such as the classified documents scandal, election interference charges, and the New York hush-money trial that resulted in Trump’s felony conviction.
Most concerning? Both Bondi and Blanche now answer directly to Trump as their current superior—raising serious doubts about their ability to conduct an unbiased investigation. This revolving door between Trump’s legal team and the Justice Department undermines public trust and reinforces suspicions of a rigged process.
