Senator Cornyn's Opposition Threatens Todd Blanche's Attorney General Nomination Over Trump IRS Settlement
Senator John Cornyn has announced his opposition to Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General unless changes are made to a settlement agreement involving President Trump and the IRS. Cornyn demands that the agreement, which includes a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' and tax audit immunity for Trump and his family, be rescinded. The Texas Republican's stance could jeopardize Blanche's confirmation, as the Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote on the nomination. Cornyn is in discussions with Blanche and the Justice Department but has not yet secured the modifications he seeks. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for the vote to be postponed if Cornyn's demands are not met.
