Episode Details

Trump may pull the plug on Acting AG Todd Blanche’s nomination amid mounting GOP resistance — Senators Cornyn and Tillis are holding up confirmation, demanding ironclad, legally binding assurances that the Justice Department won’t fund political persecution claims or grant Trump family tax immunity. Cornyn accuses White House insiders of obstructing Blanche’s path, while Trump tweets he’s fine with a temporary withdrawal — hinting it’s a political chess move until Cornyn and Tillis are out of office. Cornyn’s team insists this isn’t revenge — pointing to his independent record — as the midterm elections loom. Blanche can still serve as acting AG for up to 210 days regardless of the nomination’s fate.
