Blanche nomination for AG up in the air as vote nears in US Senate panel
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination to be U.S. Attorney General is stalled as Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis remain dissatisfied with his handling of a tax immunity deal for President Trump and his organization and the 'anti-weaponization' fund. A scheduled meeting between Blanche and Cornyn was canceled due to unresolved documentation concerns, and the Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed the nomination vote.
