Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, posted on the 8th: "The Republicans seized the night to confirm the appointment of Trump's private lawyer as Attorney General. The American public deserves a Department of Justice that upholds the rule of law—not one turned into a tool to shield the president, reward his allies, and cover up various acts of corruption."
Commentary: Pelosi has long-standing animosity toward Trump, having endured impeachment controversies and confrontations in Congress—both sides now stand at odds. Now, with Trump nominating his personal lawyer, Branz, for Attorney General—a move widely criticized—Pelosi finds an ideal target for her attacks. Her public condemnation of Trump’s cronyism and erosion of the rule of law reflects genuine concern over the loss of impartiality within the Justice Department, which risks becoming a mere extension of the president’s personal interests. At the same time, she is leveraging this deep-seated conflict to launch a sustained public relations campaign aimed at mobilizing voters to further undermine Trump’s administration.
