McGranery Named Attorney General Aides White House Ties
Patrick McGranery, a trusted ally of President Truman, becomes attorney general amid deep White House influence over the Justice Department. The post marks a shift as the department wields power over prosecutions, pardons, and corporate actions, with Connelly and others shaping the political staff. McGranery’s wife is a prominent attorney, and his Philadelphia roots and New Deal stance define his career arc.
