In response to the Senate Judiciary Committee postponing its vote on Trump's unqualified personal lawyer Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general, MoveOn Political Action Chief Communications Officer Joel Payne released the following statement: 
“Todd Blanche’s nomination is stalled because his record is corrupt and indefensible. 
He has spent his career proving that there is no legal principle he will not bend and no institution he will not compromise in service of Donald Trump. 
His blind loyalty, willingness to use the justice system to protect the president, and role in a sweetheart settlement benefiting Trump make him completely unfit to serve as attorney general. 
“Senate Republicans may be trying to put some distance between themselves and this toxic nomination, but moving the vote does not change the facts. 
Blanche is still Trump’s fixer, still disqualified, and still a threat to the rule of law. 
The Senate should stop dragging this out and kill the nomination.” 
MoveOn continues to mobilize its millions of members and run digital ads to put pressure on Congress to reject Blanche’s nomination.
