COLUMBUS — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told The Post in an interview Thursday that he’s “honored” to receive the president’s nomination as “permanent” head of the Justice Department, saying he’ll work with both GOP and Democratic lawmakers if confirmed. Blanche said he’s coordinating closely with FBI Director Kash Patel since the exit of former AG Pam Bondi — including on fraud busts totaling hundreds of millions of dollars — and that cracking down on scoundrels, illegal immigration and violent or drug-trafficking crimes were top priorities. “The violent crime numbers are down to historic lows, and that’s because of President Trump and him unleashing law enforcement to do their jobs,” Blanche said.
