## An unusual briefer
Attorney General Todd Blanche led Tuesday's White House press briefing, a slot normally held by the press secretary.
## DOJ eyes AI rules
Blanche fielded questions about a possible Justice Department role in regulating artificial intelligence.
## Mail-in voting in court
He also took questions on the ongoing legal battle over mail-in voting, one of the administration's live election fights.
## Law meets policy
Putting the attorney general at the podium blurs the line between legal enforcement and White House messaging on both issues.
## Reporters add context
CBS News correspondents Ed O'Keefe and Nicole Sganga followed the remarks with analysis of what Blanche said and left unsaid.
## Key takeaway

When the attorney general runs a White House briefing, watch which legal fights the administration wants framed as policy.
