Episode Details

Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General after key Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, reportedly oppose him — citing demands for Justice Department assurances on an IRS settlement. Trump calls their resistance a betrayal, especially since they backed Merrick Garland, and warns their political careers are over if they don’t back Blanche.

Cornyn himself is reportedly leaning against moving forward, turning this into a high-stakes political chess match as Blanche remains Acting AG — with the nation watching to see if Trump follows through or if a compromise emerges.
