Blanche Cancels Anti-Weaponization Fund | Salt Lake City News
Description
Acting AG Todd Blanche just killed the controversial $1.78 billion “anti-weaponization fund” — a key move to win Senate approval for his Justice Department nomination. Originally tied to Trump’s IRS lawsuit, the fund also included retroactive audit shields for the president and family — which Blanche clarified wouldn’t block future audits. GOP senators had balked over fears it could be revived, especially after Trump publicly backed it. But with Cornyn and Tillis now on board after seeing the written rescission, the path is clear: Blanche’s confirmation could happen this week.
