Summary
Trump said Wednesday night he will move "very quickly" to make acting Attorney General Todd Blanche the permanent head of the Justice Department.
Blanche has led the department on an interim basis since early April, when Trump fired former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The announcement, delivered in a video posted by Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino from a White House Rose Garden Club Dinner, turns days of expectation into a formal presidential decision.
Blanche, Trump's former defense attorney, now faces a Senate confirmation process that earlier reports said could draw resistance from some Republicans.
