Trump's threat to push ahead on settlement fund injects new uncertainty into attorney general talks
President Trump threatened to advance the Anti-Weaponization Fund if two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, do not support Todd Blanche for attorney general. The fund, tied to a $1.8 billion settlement providing Trump immunity, has stalled Senate confirmation efforts, with the Senate Judiciary Committee rescheduling a vote amid ongoing negotiations.
