John Cornyn, who holds a pivotal vote on Senate Judiciary, told me he’s truly undecided on whether he can vote for Todd Blanche as AG. Says he needs more to kill DOJ’s $1.8B weaponization fund. “He confirmed that it’s not dead.” “I continue to have some concerns”

Sen. John Cornyn told reporters Tuesday following the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote to advance Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination that “there's nothing we could do” to rein in President Donald Trump. “Well, there's nothing we could do to rein in the president when he said he likes the fund and he wishes it still exists. But the fact of the matter [is] it's dead, and that's all we could do under these circumstances,” Cornyn, R-Texas, said. Cornyn, along with Sen. Thom Tillis, R-NC, agreed to support the nomination after Blanche put in writing that the DOJ is scrapping a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could have provided settlements to President Donald Trump's allies, including Jan. 6 rioters. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12-10, along party lines, on Tuesday to advance Blanche to a full Senate vote.

Tomorrow, the Judiciary Committee is supposed to vote on Todd Blanche's nomination to be Attorney General. 2 months ago, I told Blanche that while he may have the title of acting-AG, he is still acting like Trump's personal attorney. And that is still true today.

🚨WHOA! James Comey just NAILED Trump and his DOJ over their baseless attacks against him: “Donald Trump has a bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who've criticized him, and I'm not gonna stop criticizing him because I think that's required if you care about America.” Then he torched Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi: “Look at the bottom of every barrel, there are still apples.” DAMN!! I stand with him!

Fox News’ Sandra Smith: “Todd Blanche’s confirmation to become attorney general may be in jeopardy as Republican Senator John Cornyn cancelled a planned meeting with Acting AG Blanche today. Cornyn says he is not ready to support the nomination without assurances on the anti-weaponization fund and the DOJ’s settlement of the Trump family/s lawsuit against the IRS.” “Without Cornyn’s yes VOTE [Blanche’s] nomination may never reach the Senate floor for confirmation.”

BREAKING: Sen. Bill Cassidy announces he will vote to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General, delivering a key vote needed to clear the way for President Trump's nominee. "This is not a referendum on President Trump. It is a decision regarding Mr. Blanche in very specific circumstances, all considered, I will vote for Mr. Blanche.” “I'll be criticized for this vote.

#BREAKING: Velshi: “Just this week, Trump told his aides to officially begin the process of appointing his former personal attorney Todd Blanche, to permanently fill the role of Attorney-General, and just today, Blanche made it clear that he intends to use that office to SHIELD Donald Trump from accountability for his actions EVEN AFTER his term ends…Putting roadblocks in place. Not so that it [weaponization] can never happen again, so that Donald Trump CANNOT be held accountable for his actions.” 🙄

Yesterday I told you that two Democrats voted in the Louisiana House Transportation Committee to name a bridge after Donald Trump. Rep. Tehmi Chassion reached out to explain his vote and has been clear that on Monday he will vote No on naming a bridge after Trump. I wanted you all to know that Mike Echols appears to be using this issue to score political points with Trump — not to secure funding for the project, but to seek an endorsement. I appreciate that Rep. Chassion acknowledged he should have taken more time to fully verify what he was voting on. He heard the concerns of his district and people across the state loud and clear, and he wants you to know he plans to vote No on Monday. To all Democratic Senators and Representatives: I will be watching how you vote — including members of the Legislative Black Caucus — throughout this entire session. I’m not calling to ask about your vote before informing the public. You are elected officials, and you all should be able to explain to the public every vote you take. The stakes are too high. Share if you care 🦾

NEW: Sen. Thom Tillis tells me it’s more likely than not that tomorrow’s vote to advance Todd Blanche for AG is delayed. “With the passing time, it's gonna be difficult for me to think that we can get all this language ironed out and then get everybody — to be fair to DOJ, there are several parties that they have to work with once you get the language. So I think that's probably why I think it's unlikely we could have all this settled tonight.” At this moment, he and Cornyn are still a no. “We’re not prepared to vote yes yet.”

On Capitol Hill, a dramatic series of developments unfolded as some Senate Republicans openly broke with President Trump over his request for funding tied to a new White House ballroom and a controversial so-called “anti-weaponization fund.” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made an unplanned trip to Capitol Hill to personally argue the case for that fund. It did not work. Amid sharp concerns and questions by Republicans, the president did not have the votes he needed, and the Senate has instead left town. @IAmAmnaNawaz sat down with Lisa Desjardins for more.

Todd Blanche has spent his career enabling Trump's corruption and he has no intention of stopping. He's fine giving Trump a permission slip to commit tax fraud and resurrect his MAGA slush fund. Let’s be clear: This fund is strictly for Trump and his cronies. Where’s the reimbursement for the pain inflicted on the American people?

Not enough people are talking about this. Trump is trying to escape a $100 million dollar tax penalty, and Senate Republicans are helping him do it. You know about the $1.8 billion slush fund he tried to create to reward his political allies. They got so much pushback that they’ve halted that, at least for now. But what you probably don’t know is that Trump gave himself, his family, and his businesses complete immunity from IRS audits, past and future. Everyone focused on the slush fund, and almost nobody noticed the audit immunity. It’s still in place, and it cannot be allowed to stand.

🚨 Ken Paxton just called out John Cornyn for PRETENDING to support President Trump just so he can be re-elected "First of all, he has not been in friend of the president. In 2016, Cornyn said Trump is 'an albatross around our neck' Then in 2024, he said [Trump's] time has passed, and he insinuating he was guilty of crimes. This guy has been a 'friend' of Donald Trump since a year ago, but he has NOT been a friend of his prior to that, and as soon as this race is over, he will NOT be a friend to Donald Trump. That is not his history, that is not his record, and he has been dishonest with the voters of Texas trying to convince them that he has voted 99% of the president. What does that even mean?! We KNOW that's not true."

Based on the optics from today at the DOJ, Trump and his team made a conscious effort to make it clear he trusts AG Pam Bondi. He knows what people have been saying online. He knows many are critical of Bondi. Today, he made an effort to show he supports her. I know everyone has an opinion about how to run the government and how to drain the swamp, but ultimately, Trump is the one who gets to make those decisions. He has a plan, and the American People chose him to carry out said plan. If Bondi is compromised or not accomplishing what Trump wants, Trump will know about it LONG before we do, and it will be up to him to correct it. But for the time being, Trump just made a pretty clear statement today that the DOJ under his new administration will be different, and that he has faith in his appointees such as Bondi and Kash. If you disagree with Trump’s appointees or his plan, then in four years, you can vote for someone else, but until then, you’ve got no choice but to trust Trump, and he trusts Bondi.

🚨 TRUMP PLAYS HARDBALL ON BLANCHE NOMINATION President Trump is signaling he may simply withdraw Todd Blanche’s formal nomination for Attorney General rather than keep fighting Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis. The two senators are still demanding written guarantees on the anti-weaponization fund and the Trump family’s IRS settlement terms. Trump’s message: He has “no objection” to pulling the nomination and waiting until Cornyn and Tillis are out of office. Because Blanche is already serving as Acting Attorney General, there is no statutory clock forcing a quick decision. He can continue in the role. The confirmation fight may just be postponed until the two holdouts are gone.

BREAKING: Ro Khanna just said there is a new precedent set which means Donald Trump has to testify before Congress about the Epstein files. "A new precedent has been set in America today. Before this, we had the ‘Trump rule.’ Trump defied, as all of you know, a congressional subpoena with the January 6 committee. He said presidents don’t have to testify. Now we have the ‘Clinton rule,’ which is Presidents and their family have to testify when Congress issues a subpoena. And that means that Donald Trump needs to come before our committee and explain what he knew about Epstein and explain why we have not had a full release of the documents."
