Trump weighs pulling Blanche’s AG nomination as GOP holdouts stall

President Trump says he may withdraw Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general as two Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee withhold support, seeking assurances that the proposed $1.8 billion anti-weaponisation fund won’t be resurrected. Blanche, who has been acting AG since April, could be renominated later, but Democrats could block such a move if they win the Senate; the confirmation remains stalled amid these conditions.
