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Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, will support Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general after he rescinded the $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' to compensate individuals allegedly unfairly prosecuted. The fund, which faced bipartisan opposition over potential payments to Jan. 6 rioters, was formally canceled, and the Justice Department clarified that tax audit immunity for President Donald Trump applies retroactively only.
