John Cornyn’s unmet demands imperil Trump’s U.S. attorney general nomination ahead of key vote

Senator John Cornyn is jeopardizing Todd Blanche’s nomination for U.S. attorney general by demanding written assurance that President Trump’s anti-weaponization fund is terminated. Cornyn, a critical swing vote, cancelled a scheduled meeting with Blanche, who has acted as attorney general since Pam Bondi was fired in April. These unmet demands from the outgoing Texas senator now imperil the nomination process as a key vote approaches, creating significant uncertainty regarding Blanche's official appointment to the role.
