Blanche vote on hold over anti-weaponization fund opposition

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination to lead the Department of Justice full-time is stalled as two Republican senators, John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, oppose it unless the DOJ eliminates a $1.8 billion fund providing payments to people wrongfully prosecuted. The senators' condition is the removal of the fund before supporting Blanche's nomination.
