Blanche’s Nomination Moves Forward | Spokane News
Description
The Senate is poised to move forward with Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche after a key roadblock: a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund tied to Trump’s IRS lawsuit. The DOJ officially rescinded the fund, satisfying skeptical Republicans John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who had blocked progress. With their backing, Blanche’s nomination heads to a Tuesday vote — a critical step as Republicans can’t afford Democratic opposition. Trump publicly endorsed Blanche, criticizing Cornyn over his reelection bid, while Blanche’s earlier testimony that the fund was “dead” now aligns with official confirmation.
