Trump Nominates Former Defense Lawyer Todd Blanche for Attorney General - Adam Kinzinger
Donald Trump has officially nominated his former defense attorney Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General, raising new questions about the future independence of the Department of Justice.
Adam Kinzinger breaks down why Trump's DOJ pick is drawing scrutiny, the House vote to limit U.S. involvement in Iran, and the administration's new Medicaid work requirement rules that could leave millions without health coverage.
Plus: Reality TV star Spencer Pratt shocks political observers by emerging as a serious contender in the Los Angeles mayor's race, fueling concerns about the Republican Party's shift toward personality-driven politics.

From the Justice Department to Congress, healthcare, elections, and the future of the GOP, Adam examines the biggest political stories shaping the country right now. - 06/04/2026.
