Todd Blanche Claims DOJ Independence From Trump Is A 'Misperception,' Again
HuffPost's live blog leads with Attorney General Todd Blanche again calling it a 'misperception' that the Justice Department is independent of President Donald Trump, conceding the prosecution of the six Democrats who urged service members to defy 'illegal orders' has failed, while Trump asked on Truth Social, 'Will the Seditious Six ever be prosecuted?' The blog also covers Iran's refusal to readmit nuclear inspectors, the Navy's quiet firing of top officers, Democrats regrouping at a Denver conference, Scott Colom's historic Mississippi Senate win, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreeing to testify, and Senator Chris Van Hollen's challenge to Chuck Schumer for majority leader.
