Senate Committee Postpones Todd Blanche Attorney General Nomination Vote Amid GOP Opposition
The US Senate Judiciary Committee postponed the vote on Todd Blanche's nomination as Attorney General due to opposition from Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis. The senators demand written assurances regarding a controversial DOJ-IRS settlement, including the disbandment of a proposed $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' and limits on tax audit immunity for President Trump. President Trump expressed willingness to temporarily withdraw Blanche's nomination until the senators leave office, while maintaining Blanche as acting Attorney General.
