Tempers flared during a contentious congressional hearing as Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin launched a blistering attack on senior Justice Department officials, singling out Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and accusing him of undermining the department's integrity. Raskin described Blanche as “a disgrace to the DOJ” and “a real fraud,” while arguing that right-wing extremists had been aided and abetted by political allies and sympathetic actors. In a fiery exchange, the Maryland Democrat broadened his criticism, declaring that “all of them” were a disgrace, as lawmakers clashed over extremism, political violence, and the Justice Department’s handling of controversial groups and investigations.
