Todd Blanche on track for confirmation after Cornyn strikes Trump settlement deal

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is back on track for confirmation following a deal between Senator John Cornyn and the Justice Department. The agreement involves rescinding a $1.8B anti-weaponization fund established by President Donald Trump with the IRS. This move addresses key demands, ensuring Blanche can be confirmed as Attorney General before the August recess. The deal also includes a written rescission of the fund and a restatement of testimony from Blanche's confirmation hearing.
