Blanche briefs reporters from Rose Garden

Attorney General Todd Blanche spoke with reporters Tuesday afternoon in the White House Rose Garden.

Few details were known ahead of time about the briefing, but it marked only the second since former press secretary Karoline Leavitt resigned from the post. The DOJ has played a major role in arguing on behalf of President Trump’s immigration and anti-fraud moves, as well as the White House ballroom and Kennedy Center renovations .

The event came as the president faces scrutiny over his response to AI leaders’ warning about the risks of the rapidly evolving technology and his vow to give adults in the U.S. a $5,000 dividend if the GOP maintains control of both chambers of Congress next year.
