Blanche’s Confirmation Hangs on Cassidy | Omaha News

from Omaha News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Senator Lisa Murkowski just flipped her vote against confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General, slamming his record on immunity deals and political prosecutions — and warning he won’t serve as a check on the administration. With Cassidy now the lone undecided Republican, the fate of Blanche’s nomination hinges on his decision. Blanche already made concessions to win GOP support — halting a victims fund and withdrawing an IRS deal — but Murkowski says it’s not enough. Trump is furious, calling her out for siding against him, while Senate leaders delay the final vote, turning this into a high-stakes showdown that could define the next chapter of DOJ leadership.
