President Trump has formally nominated Todd Blanche to serve as U.S. Attorney General, after Blanche has spent months leading the Justice Department in an interim capacity.

The nomination was sent to the U.S. Senate today, with the White House listing “Todd Blanche, of Florida, to be Attorney General.”

Blanche has been serving as acting attorney general during a consequential period for federal marijuana policy. In April, he signed the Justice Department’s order placing FDA-approved marijuana products and state-licensed medical marijuana in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.

The Justice Department order also launched a separate administrative process for full marijuana rescheduling, with a DEA hearing set to begin June 29.

Blanche’s nomination now heads to the Senate, where he will need confirmation before becoming permanent attorney general.
