Episode Details

Trump’s latest social media blast threatens to resurrect a controversial compensation fund for his allies unless two key Republican senators back his Attorney General nominee—Todd Blanche. The senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, are holding firm, demanding written assurances that the fund is permanently dead and that the tax immunity granted in a recent lawsuit settlement doesn’t extend indefinitely to Trump’s business entities. Though Trump earlier signaled the fund was canceled and pushed a vote delay, his new stance puts the nomination in jeopardy as the Senate heads into recess—with next week’s vote hanging in the balance.
