Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche stopped an order for the 'anti-weaponization' fund. This helps his confirmation before a key Senate vote on Tuesday. Republican senators had delayed his nomination due to concerns about the fund.

Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis had held up Blanche's nomination. They wanted written promises that the Justice Department would not move forward with the fund.

The Justice Department announced that the acting attorney general stopped the order for 'The Anti-Weaponization Fund'.

Democrats question Trump's picks for attorney general and intelligence chief.

Republican senators also objected to a Justice Department order. This order stopped the IRS from looking into past tax claims for Trump and his companies.

Senator Cornyn reached an agreement with the Justice Department. They will issue a formal order to end the 'anti-weaponization' fund. This order will also limit the scope of the audit settlement.

Todd Blanche met with Epstein survivors. This was amid pressure from Republican Senator Thom Tillis.

Blanche's order said the tax order only applied to the past.

The Justice Department said the acting attorney general stands by his Senate testimony. This includes answers about the tax audit order.

Trump said the 'anti-weaponization' fund was dead. However, he later said Blanche would stay in his role if not confirmed.

The president also said he would push Congress to make the 'anti-weaponization' fund a law.

Senator Tillis wrote that Blanche would not be confirmed. This was because of Trump's change of heart.

Todd Blanche has been the acting attorney general since April.

The now-canceled fund was part of a legal settlement. This was between Trump and the Justice Department to resolve a $10 billion lawsuit.

Supporters say the fund was meant to help people unfairly targeted by the government. Critics say it could give taxpayer money to Trump allies.
