“There are, however, certain points I want you to know. First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the Department does not take such a decision lightly,” Garland said in the clip that Trump posted.

Trump also posted a screenshot of another user’s social media post that called Murkowski “owned” and a “traitor” for her decision to vote “no” on Blanche’s confirmation on the grounds of weaponization of justice concerns, while she voted for Garland.

Murkowski announced her decision to vote against Blanche’s confirmation on Friday, saying she doesn’t believe he will be able to “check the worst impulses of this administration.” She did, however, call Blanche “decent and capable.”

“The politicization — even weaponization — of the Department did not start with this administration but has accelerated during it,” Murkowski said in her statement on her vote. “I take issue with the handling of the release of the Epstein files; the sweeping immunity protections granted to the President, his family, and their businesses; the statements that have been made to anti-abortion groups; and the repeated targeting of individuals ranging from former administration staff to sitting U.S. Senators.”

Blanche gave his gratitude to the Senate for staying late into early Saturday morning ahead of the chamber’s August recess to hold the confirmation vote in a statement Saturday morning.

“I am deeply honored by the trust and confidence President Trump has placed in me to lead the Department of Justice as our great nation’s 88th Attorney General,” Blanche said.

“To the dedicated public servants of the Department of Justice, thank you for your work each day to uphold the law and keep our country safe,” Blanche continued.
