Blanche's AG bid at risk as GOP demands clarity on Trump-IRS settlement
Acting Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche's confirmation hangs in the balance after Sen. John Cornyn canceled a meeting to press for written assurances about provisions of the Trump-IRS settlement that could shield Trump and others from audits on pre-settlement tax returns; Sen. Thom Tillis shares concerns about a related DOJ fund, and the Judiciary Committee's upcoming vote could doom Blanche's confirmation if GOP lawmakers withhold support.
