Blanche’s Nomination in Limbo After Canceled Meeting With GOP Holdouts

Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general is in jeopardy after Republican Senator John Cornyn cancelled a scheduled meeting. This occurs one day before the Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote on the nomination. The cancellation stems from an ongoing standoff regarding President Trump's $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund. While Senator Cornyn noted that Senator Grassley requires a decision on the markup timing, the future of Blanche's appointment remains uncertain as the committee vote approaches.
