Blanche Strikes Deal With GOP Senators to Advance Nomination

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has reached a deal with two Republican senators that involves rescinding an order that established an 'anti-weaponization fund,' a move that appears to remove a major obstacle to his confirmation as Attorney General. The agreement between Blanche and the GOP senators is expected to facilitate his path to becoming the nation's top law enforcement official. This deal suggests Blanche is willing to make substantive concessions to secure the votes needed for his Senate confirmation.
