Trump blasts rogue GOP senators for blocking Blanche nomination, vows anti-weaponization bill fight

President Donald Trump criticized Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn for opposing his nomination of Todd Blanche as Attorney General, vowing to retain Blanche as acting AG and prioritize passage of the Anti-Weaponization Bill. The bill aims to establish a congressional compensation program for victims of political persecution, replacing a DOJ fund created under Blanche's leadership but later abandoned due to lack of congressional approval.
