Blanche’s Nomination Stalls Over Billion-Dollar Fund | Honolulu News
Description
The Attorney General nomination’s fate hangs in the balance over a $1.8 billion fund meant to compensate victims of federal agencies — a fund President Trump calls “dead” but wishes wasn’t. Lawmakers demand written proof it’s truly gone, especially as a tax immunity addendum complicates things. Nominee Todd Blanche insists the fund is defunct, but senators like Cornyn push for clarity on whether the immunity applies only to past investigations. With Trump claiming the fund was for victims of his administration — not himself — tensions rise as negotiations stall and the nomination remains uncertain.
