Blanche and Clayton on Track for Confirmation | US News
Description
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is upbeat about confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General and Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence before August recess, citing strong GOP support and productive Senate discussions. Blanche, currently acting AG, is defending his record on crime and immigration amid Democratic scrutiny over his handling of sensitive files and perceived White House ties. Clayton, a former SEC chair with bipartisan backing, faces tough questioning despite unified Democratic opposition. Thune accuses Democrats of obstruction, insisting Republicans will push forward with nominations regardless. The focus now shifts to upcoming hearings and whether any surprises emerge.
