Blanche’s Nomination Clears Legal Hurdle | Boise News

Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

Acting AG Todd Blanche’s nomination hit a major roadblock over a controversial $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund tied to a Trump-era IRS lawsuit — feared to potentially pay January 6 defendants. Two GOP senators demanded written assurance the fund was dead, which Blanche delivered with a signed rescission order. The DOJ followed up with a formal termination, convincing the senators that the settlement only applies to plaintiffs — not defendants — clearing the way for Blanche’s nomination to move forward.
