Todd Blanche's Nomination for Attorney General Clears Key Hurdle After Agreement with Republicans
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General after reaching an agreement with Republican senators who had previously expressed concerns. Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis had raised issues regarding a controversial fund related to the Trump administration, which aimed to use taxpayer money for allies, potentially including January 6 insurrection participants. Blanche announced a modification to the agreement that addressed these concerns. The nomination will now proceed to a full Senate vote, where Republicans hold a majority. Blanche, who previously served as Deputy Attorney General, was nominated after Trump dismissed Pam Bondi in April.
