What we found

Supports. AP reports Todd Blanche was sworn in Monday, August 10, 2026, as attorney general after a bruising confirmation fight.[1]

Supports. Reuters video coverage states Blanche arrived at the Justice Department on his first day as attorney general of the United States after being sworn in on August 10, 2026.[2]

Supports. The DOJ's own profile lists Blanche's dates of service as 2026-present and states he was sworn in as Attorney General on August 10, 2026.[3]

Supports. The Senate confirmed Blanche 50-49 in early August 2026, per Union Leader and Britannica, consistent with his later swearing-in.[4][5]

Context. Wikipedia's officeholder list (low credibility, older snapshot) and The Candidate also list Blanche as the serving AG, though The Candidate labels his status as 'Acting'; this is a minor discrepancy against the tier1 sources.[6][7]
