Blanche Confirmation Battle Continues
from CNN Inside Politics Hosted by CNN Podcasts
As today's show begins, President Trump is holding a Cabinet meeting at Camp David. Among the participants is Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general. He wants to drop the "acting" from his title and get confirmed by the Senate. But two Republican senators are blocking Blanche because the White House won't commit to killing the president's so-called anti-weaponization fund. And, rather than compromise, Trump says he'll pull the nomination for now and wait till next year.
