Anti-weaponization fund could be ‘back on the table’ if Blanche not confirmed: Trump

President Donald Trump initially suggested the anti-weaponization fund could return if the Senate failed to confirm acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. However, Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn threatened to block the confirmation unless the fund was rescinded in writing. Following weeks of discussions, Todd Blanche reached a deal with the holdout senators and issued an official order rescinding the $1.8 billion fund to address their concerns and ensure his confirmation process proceeded.
