The US Senate has confirmed a new attorney general. Todd Blanche, formerly President Donald Trump's personal attorney, was confirmed in a narrow vote. The vote took place early on a Saturday morning and was decided by a single vote, with 50 senators voting in favor and 49 against.

Blanche has been leading the Justice Department in an acting capacity and his confirmation may allow him to pursue the administration's agenda more aggressively. Further details about the confirmation and its implications are available from the source, WSVN 7 News.
