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

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination as Attorney General after Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis demanded written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding a tax settlement with President Donald Trump and his organization. The senators expressed dissatisfaction with Blanche’s handling of the 'anti-weaponization' fund and the tax immunity deal, which absolved Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization from future tax enforcement in the matter.
