Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are BLOCKING Acting AG Todd Blanche from Being Confirmed As Attorney General. They are claiming they won’t vote for him because of “anti-weaponization fraud.” This is insane.

Todd Blanche cannot be Attorney General. The Senate must oppose his nomination. If you’re with me on this, please contact your senator’s office and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche. The Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

🚨 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.

🚨 BLANCHE CLEARS MAJOR HURDLE FOR AG CONFIRMATION Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is now one step closer to full confirmation. He has formally rescinded the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” that had been holding up his nomination for weeks. Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who were demanding written proof the fund was dead, are no longer blocking the vote. The main obstacle is gone.

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.

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.

Sen. Jacky Rosen: Tomorrow, the Judiciary Committee will vote on Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. There are a number of reasons why the members of the committee should oppose Todd Blanche's nomination, from his willingness to enable Donald Trump's worst instincts to his role in helping create Trump's corrupt slush fund to pay out January 6th rioters who assaulted police officers here in this chamber and others. There's one reason that stands out far ahead of the others. It's his complete and total mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case.
