Murkowski opposes Blanche, jeopardizing Trump’s attorney general nomination

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she will vote against Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general, joining Sen. Susan Collins and leaving Blanche’s confirmation precarious as Democrats are expected to vote no and Mitch McConnell is out. Cassidy remains undecided. The decision follows lingering concerns about the DOJ’s “anti-weaponization” fund and Blanche’s handling of Epstein-related matters, which had already complicated his confirmation process.
