Trump’s pick for attorney general, Todd Blanche, faces a major Senate roadblock as two key Republicans, Cornyn and Tillis, refuse to support his confirmation unless he guarantees the Justice Department won’t revive a controversial $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies — a deal already blocked by a federal judge. With both senators’ terms ending in January, Trump may renominate Blanche after they’re gone, but that could backfire if Democrats regain Senate control — and Blanche could technically stay in his acting role for now. The situation remains tense, with no clear resolution in sight.
