    Todd Blanche lacks the impartiality and integrity to be US Attorney General.


    In this episode, Senators Whitehouse and Blumenthal discuss the nomination of Todd Blanche to the role of our nation’s top prosecutor. From his botched handling of the Epstein files, to his weaponization of the Justice Department as Acting AG, Blanche has a pattern of placing his loyalty to President Trump above his duty to our country. As two former state Attorneys General and U.S. Attorneys, the Senators discuss the principles and morals that should define this role, the importance of an independent Judiciary, and more.

    From both a prosecutorial and intelligence standpoint, the FBI’s raid of a Fulton County election office doesn’t pass the smell test.

    In this episode, Senator Whitehouse talks with Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, about the numerous red flags raised by the FBI’s search and seizure this past January. The two discuss DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the search, Trump’s Weaponization Working Group, the SAVE America Act, and more.

  • Unaccountable
    Feb 6 2026

    The reckless behavior of masked ICE agents on the streets of Minneapolis has been appalling to witness, and widely condemned by real law enforcement officers. Their misconduct must not be beyond the reach of law for people they have injured. Reforms and accountability are due.


    On this episode of Making the Case, Senator Whitehouse welcomes back Representative Hank Johnson, his House counterpart in leading the Bivens Act and Constitutional Accountability Act. Professors Mary Mason and Ed Maguire weigh in on policing reforms and how these two bills would increase accountability.
