White House sends Blanche’s attorney general nomination to Congress
President Donald Trump nominated acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for a permanent role, but his confirmation faces uncertainty due to Republican senators' hesitation linked to the Justice Department’s proposed anti-weaponization fund. Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley expressed support for Blanche, while senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn indicated conditional backing depending on responses to questions or the fund’s implications.
