Trump’s AG Nominee in Political Crosshairs | Pierre News

Trump’s feud with GOP senators Cornyn and Tillis over his AG nominee Todd Blanche is heating up, with the president threatening to re-nominate Blanche after their terms end unless they back down — accusing them of blocking a “Great Nominee” for voting for Garland. Blanche’s nomination faces a Senate Judiciary Committee delay as senators demand assurances about a controversial IRS settlement Trump negotiated, one that granted tax immunity to Trump and his sons. Blanche defends the deal as standard, claiming the fund was scrapped, but former DOJ officials and a federal judge raise red flags over its unusual nature. With Democrats expected to oppose, Cornyn and Tillis’ support is critical — and the political chess match continues as midterms loom.
