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