Blanche nomination at risk of delay as senator seeks assurances on Trump settlement

The Senate Judiciary Committee's vote on Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination is at risk of delay as GOP Sen. John Cornyn and fellow Republican Thom Tillis demand written assurances from the Justice Department regarding a settlement of President Donald Trump's lawsuit against the IRS. The settlement includes audit immunity for Trump and his family and a scrapped 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' plan, which Cornyn seeks clarification on.
