Trump warns on $1.8bn fund
President Trump has threatened to revive his $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund if Senate Republicans do not confirm acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, are withholding support for Blanche's confirmation due to concerns over the proposed fund, which Trump considers essential for compensating allies allegedly targeted by political prosecutions. The fund was previously blocked by a federal judge, and both senators seek assurances that it will not be resurrected later. A Senate Judiciary Committee meeting is scheduled to consider Blanche's nomination.
