Senate Republicans press Blanche for assurances as DOJ confirmation advances
TL;DR Summary
Todd Blanche is courting GOP votes for his attorney general nomination, privately assuring lawmakers that the controversial Anti-Weaponization Fund—tied to up to $1.8 billion in payouts—will not be pursued. He faces questions about his ties to Trump, the Epstein file releases, and other Trump-era issues as a July 15 Judiciary Committee hearing approaches, with Democrats unlikely to back him; securing enough GOP support for a floor vote in August remains uncertain.
