The Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed voting on Todd Blanche’s AG nomination as two key Republicans demand clarity on a controversial tax immunity deal tied to Trump’s $10 billion IRS lawsuit. The deal, which included a scrapped $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” still offers audit protection for Trump and his family — a provision senators Cornyn and Tillis insist must be narrowly defined to cover only current audits, not future filings. Cornyn, newly vulnerable after a primary loss, accuses the Justice Department of stonewalling and urges Blanche to resolve the issue. The Justice Department says it’s ready to negotiate further, while Trump’s ally Ken Paxton secures the GOP Senate nomination in Texas — adding another layer to this high-stakes political drama. A judge has already criticized the settlement for self-dealing and questioned Blanche’s role in approving it, leaving the situation in flux as behind-the-scenes talks continue.
