The Senate Judiciary Committee canceled a scheduled Thursday vote on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination after Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis requested written assurances regarding a Trump-era IRS settlement. The settlement resolved a $10 billion lawsuit and originally included a $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund that the Justice Department later declined to pursue. The audit immunity provision from the settlement remains active.
