· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as the U.S. Attorney General in a narrow vote of 50-49 early Saturday morning. Blanche, a former personal attorney for President Trump, has been serving as acting AG and is expected to aggressively pursue the administration's agenda. His confirmation followed a contentious battle, with concerns from both Republicans and Democrats regarding his loyalty to Trump and a controversial $1.8 billion compensation fund proposal. Despite opposition from two Republican senators and all Democrats, Blanche's commitment to abandon the fund helped secure the necessary votes. Supporters argue his legal experience makes him well-suited for the role.
