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

U.S. acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination advanced by a Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote after he promised the Trump 'anti-weaponization' fund is rescinded. Two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who previously withheld support, voted to move Blanche's nomination forward following assurances about the fund's status and tax immunity limitations.
