Both attorneys have helped the president-elect in his ongoing criminal cases.

President-Elect Donald Trump said on Nov. 14 that he was selecting two of his attorneys—Todd Blanche and Emil Bove—to help lead the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

Blanche, selected to serve as deputy attorney general, notably defended Trump in his falsified documents case before New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan this year.

“Todd is an excellent attorney who will be a crucial leader in the Justice Department, fixing what has been a broken System of Justice for far too long,” Trump said.

“Todd is going to do a great job as we, Make America Great Again.”

Trump said Bove, who has helped him in multiple cases, is set to serve as principal associate deputy attorney general but will serve as acting deputy attorney general while Blanche goes through the Senate confirmation process.

“Emil is a tough and strong attorney, who will be a crucial part of the Justice Department, rooting out corruption and crime,” Trump said.
