US Senate Judiciary holds over vote on Blanche nomination for AG as Grassley slams Dems

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee delayed a vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general, with Sen. Chuck Grassley criticizing Democrats for opposing the nomination. Democrats, including Sen. Cory Booker, questioned Blanche’s suitability due to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and his prior work for Donald Trump. The vote delay and comments followed a recess due to insufficient Republican attendance.
