Trump's threat to push ahead on settlement fund injects new uncertainty into attorney general talks

President Donald Trump threatened to continue a fund to compensate allies if two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, do not support his nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche. The holdup stems from a $1.8 billion settlement fund that granted Trump and his family immunity from tax audits, which Cornyn and Tillis oppose. The Senate Judiciary Committee rescheduled a vote on Blanche, but Trump's renewed push for the fund has complicated the confirmation process.
