Cornyn challenges Blanche on fate of 'anti-weaponization fund'

Sen. John Cornyn challenged Todd Blanche, acting attorney general nominee, about the status of the 'anti-weaponization fund,' which Blanche described as 'dead' but acknowledged the settlement agreement remains 'enforceable.' Cornyn, a critical Republican vote, questioned whether the fund could be revived, while Blanche emphasized there has been no written modification to the settlement. The fund originated from a Trump-led lawsuit against the IRS, which also secured audit immunity for Trump and his associates.
