Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche recently appeared on Sean Hannity’s podcast to discuss significant issues facing the Department of Justice (DOJ). In the interview, Blanche confirmed the discovery of overlooked files from the Jack Smith investigation, which have been partially turned over to Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson for public release.

Uncovered DOJ Files

Blanche addressed claims about hidden rooms and misplaced evidence within federal agencies. He acknowledged the existence of a ‘burn bag’ left in a safe room and mentioned a similar situation at the DOJ involving files from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation. These files, previously unknown, are now under review.

Healthcare Fraud Concerns

The conversation shifted to domestic policy, focusing on healthcare fraud. Blanche agreed with estimates that home healthcare fraud in Los Angeles alone exceeds $100 billion. He emphasized that combating this fraud is a top DOJ priority, alongside immigration and drug trafficking. A recent enforcement action led to the closure of 800 fraudulent home healthcare facilities in Los Angeles.

Trump’s Legal Challenges

Blanche also discussed former President Donald Trump’s legal battles, noting that Trump would likely be facing prison time if he had lost the 2024 election. He criticized the legal overreach during Trump’s first term, particularly the Russia investigation, which he described as fabricated. Blanche highlighted concerns over the weaponization of the justice system, which forced many in Trump’s circle to seek legal representation.
