Todd Blanche was sworn in as attorney general and within hours issued a memo expanding executive privilege to cover Trump's communications with private advisers. This isn't governing — it's building a legal fortress around a president who, as Senate Minority Leader Schumer put it, is "petrified of the questions a Democratic Congress will demand answers to." You need to push back on this now.
Senators Cassidy, Cornyn, and Tillis confirmed Blanche after he promised to limit presidential immunity protections. He broke that promise before the ink on his oath was dry. This memo is a direct attempt to stonewall any future congressional investigation into Trump and his administration. The pattern is clear and the precedent being set is dangerous.
Congress cannot keep watching this administration entrench itself against oversight and do nothing. Demand hearings on this memo, challenge its legal basis publicly, and make clear that executive privilege does not extend to shielding a president from accountability. Your constituents are watching whether you act or look away.
