Pres. Trump again pushes for Blanche’s confirmation
President Trump urged GOP lawmakers to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general, despite opposition from Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who demand written assurance that the administration will eliminate the 'anti-weaponization fund.' Trump claimed the fund is 'dead' but did not provide written confirmation, leading to continued resistance from the senators.
