Blanche deems ‘anti-weaponization’ fund dead, wins key GOP support in Senate
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination to lead the Department of Justice gained support from Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis after he rescinded the 'anti-weaponization' fund, which had been linked to a settlement with President Donald Trump dropping a lawsuit against the IRS. The rescission and related assurances secured the senators' backing ahead of a key Senate Judiciary Committee vote.
