Will Senator John Cornyn Vote to Confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General?
The confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General hangs on a single Republican vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, with Texas Senator John Cornyn undecided. Cornyn is dissatisfied with Blanche's refusal to confirm in writing that a controversial anti-weaponization fund—part of a deal immunizing Trump from IRS audits—is truly dead. A federal judge ruled the underlying lawsuit was collusive and non-adversarial, and sent the case to the New York State Bar, where over 100 former judges filed an ethics complaint against Blanche. Blanche also faces scrutiny over his handling of the Epstein files. While Senator Thom Tillis appears satisfied after meeting Epstein survivors, Cornyn remains the key holdout. The article notes broader intimidation concerns, citing threats against judges and former Senator Mitt Romney's fear for his safety, questioning whether Cornyn will cave to pressure.
