Trump criticizes GOP senators on Blanche nomination
President Donald Trump defended his nomination of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, criticizing GOP Senators Cornyn and Tillis for opposing it. He linked the fight over Blanche's appointment to the future of the Anti-Weaponization Bill, which aims to create a compensation program for victims of political persecution, but was shelved after a settlement fund was halted. Trump threatened to retain Blanche as acting AG and push for the bill’s passage if the senators did not support his nomination, amid ongoing disagreements over the fund and Blanche’s confirmation.
