Trump open to delaying AG nominee Blanche's confirmation

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
