Blanche nomination for attorney general advanced by US Senate panel on party-line vote
U.S. acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general was advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote after two Republicans, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, agreed to support him following his promise that a 'anti-weaponization' fund linked to President Donald Trump is rescinded. The committee voted 12-10 to send the nomination to the full Senate.
