Senator Cassidy Supports Todd Blanche's Nomination for Attorney General
Senator Bill Cassidy announced his support for Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general, likely securing the confirmation needed to lead the Justice Department. Cassidy acknowledged Blanche is "not perfect" but emphasized the decision was specific to Blanche, not a referendum on President Trump. Opposition from Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins remains due to concerns over a settlement involving tax audit immunity and a compensation fund. Blanche's confirmation hinges on securing 50 votes amid Republican divisions.
