Official number 2 in the Department of Justice has also been temporarily in charge of the Library of Congress, an official of the department said Monday.
Todd Blanche, the attached attorney general during the last two months, is the last official of the Trump administration to occupy interim, but additional leadership positions, when President Trump dismisses the agency’s senior officials.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has a series of temporary titles, including the interim national security advisor, even when he maintains a full -time work that supervises the foreign policy of the country. The director of the FBI, Kash Patel, simultaneously supervised the office of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives earlier this year until it was replaced by Daniel Driscoll, the secretary of the Army, in April.
Blanche, who was Mr. Trump’s main defense lawyer in his criminal trial in Manhattan last year, assumes as an interim library of the Carla Hayden Congress.
Mrs. Hayden, who had served at work since 2016, was fired so that the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said she was pressing “inappropriate books in the Library for Children.”
The Congress Library works mainly as a research center limited to people 16 years or older, but also has a children’s reading room.
