Cornyn’s Demands Put Blanche Confirmation in Jeopardy Amid Trump Feud

President Trump implied that Sen. John Cornyn may be upset with him for not endorsing Cornyn, while Cornyn said he’s not prepared to back Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination until Blanche formalizes in writing a modification to a DOJ settlement tied to an IRS audit immunity and to an “anti-weaponization fund.” Blanche did not attend a planned White House meeting, and the Judiciary Committee vote looming on Thursday could hinge on Cornyn’s demands, making the nomination’s fate uncertain as other GOP-budget and debt-limit stories unfold.
