Trump's DOJ 'Simply Refuses' To Formally Kill Anti-Weaponization Fund, Senator Says
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Thursday on whether Blanche's nomination as attorney general should move forward to a full Senate vote, and with Democrats unilaterally opposing Blanche, every single Republican senator needs to vote for him for his nomination to move forward.
Cornyn and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., have suggested they could oppose Blanche unless the DOJ makes "written modifications" to the IRS settlement, which included a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" for people who feel the judicial system was "weaponized" against them and an agreement that appears to give Trump, his eldest sons and other parties widespread legal immunity.
