Trump lawyer confesses 'everybody's afraid' at White House: 'We're going to be indicted'

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed this week during the Conservative Political Action Conference that President Donald Trump's administration has real fears about what will happen in 2028 if Democrats take back office.

The Department of Justice leader spoke to the audience during the event attended by conservatives and right-wing influencers in suburban Dallas on Thursday, describing why Trump's team was so concerned about potential prosecution for "unspecified offenses," The Daily Beast reported.

“Even in this administration, everybody’s afraid that the next administration, if we don’t win, we’re going to all be investigated and indicted,” Blanche said. “And why are they afraid? Because that’s exactly what happened during the last administration.”

“All of Trump’s Cabinet, everybody that worked at the White House… had to go to the grand jury,” Blanche added.

Prior to joining the DOJ, Blanche served as Trump's personal attorney.

In his comment this week about "go to the grand jury," it was unclear whether he was referring to any specific cases or if anyone in the administration had been directly targeted.

Several of Trump's former allies have faced prison time, including former strategist Steve Bannon and trade adviser Peter Navarro, who both refused to respond to congressional subpoenas. Multiple Trump associates, including attorney Michael Cohen, political consultant Roger Stone and former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort were also each convicted of different crimes throughout Trump's first administration.

Blanche bragged during his public remarks that the DOJ had removed more than 200 attorneys who worked on criminal investigations into Trump, which has been viewed as Trump's move to weaponize the agency against his critics and enemies.

“There is not a single man or woman at the Department of Justice who had anything to do with those prosecutions,” Blanche said.
