The White House is seeking $40.8 billion for the Justice Department, a 13 percent increase from 2026 levels. Blanche is likely to face questioning over a recently launched "anti-weaponization fund" that was created after Trump sued the IRS. That fund, which includes nearly $2 billion, is expected to pay and issue "formal" apologies to those who pursue settlements because they believe they were wronged by the government. The investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and indictments against the president's foes could also come up. The acting attorney general will also testify before the House later Tuesday. #toodblanche #doj #epsteinfiles JXuCtbQLZ6N rRE3ym3WnkO oaAhn4WEjSN wHIavjJpHLA 65gWkNFIHKl 6QgIup9XMaz ykmqMGhfvg7
