- Todd Blanche’s US attorney general prospects in question as vote looms
Todd Blanche's nomination for US attorney general faces uncertainty after the Department of Justice failed to provide written confirmation to Senator John Cornyn that a $1.8bn slush fund is no longer active. Cornyn stated he would not support the nomination without such assurances, and a Senate judiciary committee vote on advancing Blanche's nomination is scheduled for Thursday.
