President Donald Trump signaled on Thursday that he may withdraw acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination for a full-time post rather than yield to Senate Republicans who are pushing for limits to a sweeping tax-audit immunity agreement he struck with the Justice Department. Trump reiterated his support for Blanche, a former personal lawyer, insisting he wants to keep in place a DOJ arrangement that he says would shield him and family members from certain investigations. The prospect of pulling Blanche’s nomination underscores a broader battle over how far lawmakers can constrain investigators examining the Trump orbit, with GOP lawmakers pressing for tighter controls on the immunity deal as part of the confirmation process. The White House stressed that the president’s decision will reflect strategic considerations about policy and party unity ahead of the upcoming confirmation vote.
