Senate gears up for redo on Todd Blanche after DOJ salves Republican skeptics

The Senate is preparing to advance Todd Blanche's nomination as attorney general after the Justice Department rescinded a controversial $1.8 billion slush fund, addressing concerns from Republican senators. However, unresolved issues remain regarding a provision in the IRS settlement that blocks investigations into Trump's tax history. The Justice Department stated the rescission followed 'good faith discussions' with skeptics but did not address the immunity clause in the settlement.
