Murkowski Blocks Trump’s AG Pick | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Senator Lisa Murkowski just dealt a major blow to President Trump’s agenda by voting against confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General, citing fears he’ll revive a billion-dollar fund for January 6 rioters — even though Blanche claims it’s shut down.
