Trump attorney general pick grilled by Democrats on Senate panel
President Donald Trump's pick to be the next US attorney general -- his former defense lawyer Todd Blanche -- came in for tough questioning from Democrats at a contentious Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday."In less than 18 months at the Department of Justice you've shown you're still President Trump's personal attorney," Senator Dick Durbin, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in his opening remarks at the nearly five-hour session.
