Two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, have agreed to support Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General after the Justice Department rescinded a proposed $1.8 billion fund intended to compensate allies of Donald Trump. This resolution came after the senators threatened to block Blanche's confirmation, citing concerns that the fund could be used to compensate individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot. The Justice Department issued a written order confirming the fund's termination and clarified that tax audit immunity for Trump and his family is limited to past claims and specific parties involved in the lawsuit.
