Trump says he’ll revive ‘anti-weaponization’ fund if Blanche’s nomination for AG is blocked

President Donald Trump said he will revive the $1.8 billion anti‑weaponization fund if the Senate blocks Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general. The Senate Judiciary Committee has set a meeting for early next week to vote on Blanche’s confirmation, which has been delayed by a dispute with Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis. Trump also said he could keep Blanche in the acting attorney‑general role while pushing for the fund’s return.
