Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday ahead of his confirmation hearing for attorney general this summer.

Blanche has been occupying the spot since former Attorney General Pam Bondi resigned earlier this year and was just recently nominated by President Donald Trump. He faces a tough confirmation battle, with nearly all Democrats guaranteed to be “no” votes. Grassley — the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will decide whether to advance Blanche — gave a positive impression of the meeting.
