GOP senators to advance Blanche after $1.8B fund terminated
President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche, is likely to advance toward Senate confirmation after the Justice Department terminated a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' that had stalled his nomination. Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who previously blocked Blanche’s nomination, announced they are satisfied with the fund’s formal rescission and support moving the nomination forward.
