Blanche’s path to AG clears after Trump fund plan is scrapped
TL;DR Summary
Two GOP senators, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, say they’ll back Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination after he formally abandoned Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponisation’ fund to compensate Capitol riot prosecutions, and Blanche issued an signed order declaring there is no fund, paving the way for a Senate Judiciary Committee vote and final confirmation.
