Blanche’s Confirmation Stalled by GOP Senators | US News
Description
The White House is racing to confirm Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche, but two key Republican senators are blocking the way—demanding major concessions over a controversial settlement Blanche helped negotiate. The deal allegedly shields Trump and his family from IRS audits and funds a political slush fund, sparking outrage. Cornyn, who lost his primary after Trump backed his opponent, insists the problematic clauses must be permanently dead, even in court. Tillis, also skeptical, is pushing for guarantees the fund is gone for good—and has already met with Epstein victims to address concerns. While Tillis may be softening, Cornyn’s stance remains shaky. With a July 30th Judiciary vote and an August full Senate deadline looming, the administration is under pressure to seal the deal before summer recess.
