Blanche's Confirmation Stalls Over IRS Deal | Wilmington News
Description
Todd Blanche’s deputy attorney general nomination hit a major snag as a Senate vote was postponed—just hours before—over unresolved disputes about a controversial IRS settlement with Trump’s organization. Senators Cornyn and Tillis demand written proposals from the DOJ to revise the deal, which included a scrapped $2 billion fund and audit immunity for Trump, and the DOJ missed its deadline. Cornyn insists the final language must match Blanche’s sworn testimony, while Tillis stresses the need for precise wording—not Blanche’s personal approval. Trump praised Blanche, but the senators’ focus remains squarely on legal clarity, not politics.
