Grassley postpones vote in US Senate panel on Blanche nomination for AG

A vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination to become U.S. Attorney General was postponed after Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis sought written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding a tax settlement with President Trump and his organization. The delay followed failed meetings between Blanche and Cornyn over concerns about the 'anti-weaponization' fund and the tax immunity deal.
