During his first news conference Tuesday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche showcased his loyalty to President Donald Trump while declining to answer specific questions about the war with Iran, why Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired or other investigations into the president’s enemies.

"It's the greatest honor of a lifetime, and if President Trump chooses to keep me as acting, that's an honor," Blanche said. "If he chooses to nominate me, that's an honor."
