Senate ‘YOLO Caucus’ bucks Trump on Blanche: What to know
President Trump’s pick for the next U.S. attorney general faces opposition from two GOP senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who demand a written assurance that a proposed Justice Department 'anti-weaponization' fund is terminated. A 'no' vote from either senator could block the nominee's confirmation.
