Attorney General Todd Blanche was asked about investigating Democrats after President Trump called for scrutiny of claims involving a “criminal act.” One report says Blanche dodged the question; another says he supported Trump’s call for a DOJ investigation over Democrats’ impeachment and investigation plans.

On CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Blanche was asked whether he would investigate Democratic members of Congress following Trump’s remarks about claims of a “criminal act.”
The Hill describes Blanche as dodging that question, while the Washington Examiner says he supported Trump’s call for a DOJ investigation.
The Washington Examiner links the proposed investigation to Democrats’ threats of impeachment and investigations into the Trump administration.
