Senate Judiciary Committee Delays Vote on Todd Blanche's Attorney General Nomination
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. Both senators demanded written assurances regarding a Trump-IRS settlement and the disbandment of a proposed $1.776 billion fund for victims of DOJ 'weaponization.' The delay reflects challenges in securing sufficient committee support, with all Democrats expected to oppose Blanche and Cornyn's stance potentially decisive.
