Framing Analysis
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) are withholding support for Todd Blanche's confirmation as attorney general. Cornyn has stated he is seeking written assurances from the Department of Justice that a proposed $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund will not proceed and that any IRS immunity arrangement tied to President Trump will be narrowed in scope. A vote to advance the nomination remains stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
