Trump nominates Todd Blanche for attorney general amid controversy over DOJ fund
President Donald Trump on Monday nominated Todd Blanche as attorney general, a position that he has held in an acting capacity for more than two months.
Trump had said he would ask the Senate to confirm Blanche as attorney general to succeed Pam Bondi, whom the president fired on April 2.
This seems to adequate fit a nomination announcement? @DylanGulliver
"An announcement is defined as a public statement by Trump or his official representatives confirming a nomination or appointment to a cabinet or cabinet-level position"
If instead it is becoming an cabinet member in an acting role rather than the nomination for formally taking position then
"Assumed acting office April 2, 2026" per Second cabinet of Donald Trump - Wikipedia
is also in the timeframe of this question. So either way it seems the question should resolve yes.
Resolve please.
