Blanche’s Rose Garden briefing leaves questions, not reassurance

At a White House Rose Garden briefing, Todd Blanche — Trump’s embattled U.S. Attorney General — dodged questions on AI regulation, the Supreme Court, Iran, and elections, while quipping about reporters sweating.

The move has drawn scrutiny about Trump’s use of classical statues and its echoes of authoritarian-style monuments.
