Blanche nomination for attorney general advanced by US Senate panel on party-line vote

Todd Blanche's nomination to lead the Justice Department advanced on a party-line vote after two skeptical Republicans, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, supported it following Blanche's assurance that President Trump's 'anti-weaponization' fund is rescinded. Cornyn and Tillis cited an agreement with Justice Department officials reaffirming tax audit immunity for Trump and his associates is limited to a dropped lawsuit.
