Todd Blanche’s last-ditch effort to save AG confirmation draws scrutiny
- Republican senators appeared satisfied with Todd Blanche‘s latest efforts to clarify issues regarding his attorney general confirmation.
- Blanche rescinded an order establishing an “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” which critics had labeled a “slush fund” for allies.
- He also issued a statement clarifying the scope of a deal that granted Donald Trump, his family and businesses immunity from existing IRS investigations.
- Democratic critics and legal experts argue Blanche’s statements are “laughably flimsy” and raise more questions than they answer.
- Concerns persist that similar funds could be created in the future, and the tax immunity deal for Trump’s family remains largely intact.
