Trump shocks with late-night attack on Todd Blanche: 'Can't keep him happy for long'

President Donald Trump went on a multi-hour social media frenzy Monday night into Tuesday morning – posting on average roughly once every three minutes for three hours – and buried within his online posts was a sharp critique of his own acting attorney general and former personal attorney.

On Monday, AMG News – a website described by the media watchdog group Media Bias/Fact Check as a “conspiracy and pseudoscience news source based in Romania” – published a report with unsubstantiated claims about former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Medeea Greere, the founder of AMG News, made the unsubstantiated claim that the report exposed Clinton for leaking classified information, that Obama “ordered” a “cover-up,” and that police officers “died trying to expose the truth.”

X user “You Wish” – a relatively obscure pro-Trump account and admitted election denier – responded to Greere’s claim on social media with a slight at Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, asking “when the hell are you going to indict her Todd Blanche,” and “it’s time we get to SEE JUSTICE!”

Trump apparently came across the user’s post, sharing a screenshot of the text on his own social media platform, Truth Social, at 10:40 p.m. ET.

Trump’s apparent endorsement of the criticism lobbed at his own acting attorney general came as a surprise to former federal prosecutor and legal commentator Joyce Vance, especially given the fact that the president’s previous attorney general, Pam Bondi, was reportedly ousted over what Trump viewed as her inability to secure indictments of his political adversaries.

“You would think the golden statue might have pacified Trump for a little while, but no,” Vance wrote Tuesday in a social media post on X. “I think the best part is his criticism of Todd Blanche, which goes to show that even the most willing attorney general can’t keep Trump happy for long at this point.”

A professor at the University of Alabama School of Law, Vance was nominated by Obama to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama in 2009, a role she served in through 2017.
