John Cornyn Threatens to Sink Todd Blanche as DOJ Will Not Recind Trump IRS Fund

The nomination vote for President Trump's attorney general pick, Todd Blanche, is currently stalled. Two Republican senators are withholding their support, leading Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to postpone the committee vote. Senator John Cornyn cited new complications and is demanding written assurances from the Justice Department regarding a fund tied to President Donald Trump's IRS settlement. Without these assurances, the path to confirmation for Todd Blanche remains blocked by members of the GOP.
