Ticktin shares a personal history with President Donald Trump. The two men were classmates at the New York Military Academy. This background provides a layer of familiarity as the administration considers its next permanent appointment. The role is currently being filled on an acting basis by Todd Blanche.
The possibility of Ticktin’s nomination was addressed on a recent episode of “My Mornings with Vanessa” on LindellTV. Host Vanessa Broussard and her guest looked at the future of the Justice Department leadership. They specifically noted that Ticktin is a name that keeps surfacing for the nomination.
