Trump open to delaying AG nominee Blanche's confirmation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Trump has indicated a willingness to temporarily withdraw the nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. This move is contingent on Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn ceasing their opposition to Blanche's confirmation. Trump praised Blanche as a "STAR" and noted that he would continue to serve in an acting capacity regardless of the nomination's status. Cornyn expressed that concerns about the administration's "anti-weaponization fund" extend beyond just him and Tillis. AI
