GOP holdouts say they will back Blanche’s attorney general nomination after striking deal over fund
Two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, will support Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general after he rescinded a $1.8 billion fund to compensate individuals who claim unfair prosecution by the Justice Department. The deal resolves a Senate Judiciary Committee impasse, with the DOJ stating the fund is 'officially rescinded' and will not proceed.
