Blanche asserts ‘anti-weaponization’ fund is dead, wins key GOP support in US Senate

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche submitted a written assurance that the administration’s $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund is rescinded, securing support from Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans John Cornyn and Thom Tillis for his nomination. The memo addressed concerns about the fund's potential use for pardoned Jan. 6 defendants and clarified limitations on an IRS settlement agreement involving Donald Trump.
