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 Todd Blanche's nomination as Attorney General, linking the issue to the stalled Anti-Weaponization Fund. Trump threatened to retain Blanche as acting AG and advance the Anti-Weaponization Bill, which would replace the fund with a congressionally authorized compensation program. Tillis and Cornyn indicated they would not support Blanche's confirmation until the fund's cancellation is formally documented.
