Trump's Choice for Attorney General Moves Forward
Two important Republicans are now supporting Trump's choice to lead the Justice Department.
Senators Cornyn and Thom Tillis were against confirming Todd Blanche. They wanted the administration to agree to some things in exchange for their support.
The administration agreed to some things on Sunday. Now, Cornyn and Tillis are ready to support Blanche.
Trump had threatened to withdraw his choice for Attorney General.
There is a picture of President Trump, Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn.
Cornyn and Tillis said they are thankful for the work done on this issue. They look forward to voting to move Blanche's nomination forward.
Cornyn and Tillis had two main goals. They wanted to make sure the anti-weaponization fund would not come back and that Trump's audit immunity would not extend beyond him.
Blanche announced that the anti-weaponization fund is gone. The audit protection will only apply to Trump and his family.
The Department of Justice said the IRS cannot audit Trump's past tax returns.
Cornyn and Tillis are pleased with the Department of Justice's order. It addresses concerns shared by many of their colleagues.
The issues came from a settlement deal between Trump and the IRS.
Both lawmakers are needed to move Blanche's nomination forward.
Trump had spoken against Cornyn and connected the Attorney General nomination to a primary in Texas.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared at a confirmation hearing.
Cornyn and Tillis had argued with Trump over the last few days.
Trump said he would withdraw Blanche's nomination if Cornyn and Tillis did not support him. He also said he would bring back the anti-weaponization fund.
Trump said he would keep Blanche as Acting Attorney General and try to pass the Anti-Weaponization Bill.
Tillis said Trump wants to bring back the payout pot for inappropriate reasons.
Tillis said it's unfortunate that Blanche may not be confirmed due to Trump's reversal. He hopes the issue can be resolved by Tuesday.
