Blanche nomination at risk over Trump settlement demands

Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general is in jeopardy as key Republican Sen. John Cornyn demands written assurances from the Justice Department regarding a settlement that gave President Trump audit immunity and a scrapped "Anti-Weaponization Fund." Cornyn canceled a meeting with Blanche, and the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote to advance the nomination may be delayed. Blanche has served as acting attorney general since Pam Bondi's firing.
