Blanche nomination for AG up in the air as vote nears in US Senate panel

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination faces uncertainty as Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis remain dissatisfied with his handling of a tax immunity deal involving President Trump and the Trump Organization. A scheduled meeting between Blanche and Cornyn was canceled due to unresolved concerns over documentation, and the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on his nomination.
