Trump considers pulling Todd Blanches attorney general nomination! DonaldTrump ToddBlanche [QFH49AO7zbR]
President Donald Trump says he is considering temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche’s nomination for U.S. Attorney General as the confirmation process remains stalled in the Senate. Blanche, who has served as acting attorney general since April, needs unanimous Republican support on the Senate Judiciary Committee for his nomination to advance. However, Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are withholding their support over the status of a proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponisation fund.” The fund, which was later abandoned by Blanche and blocked by a federal judge, was intended to compensate Trump allies following a lawsuit involving the leak of Trump's tax returns. The two senators are seeking a written commitment that the Justice Department will not revive the fund, but the Trump administration has not yet made that pledge. Trump said he would consider withdrawing Blanche's nomination for now and resubmitting it after the senators leave office if the impasse continues. #DonaldTrump #ToddBlanche #AttorneyGeneral #USPolitics #BreakingNews
