Trump Administration Presses Senate to Confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General The Trump administration is applying intense pressure on senators to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General, despite opposition from two Republican senators who claim they won't support him without written confirmation that the "Anti Weaponization Fund" has been scrapped.
With just days left before the Senate recesses, White House officials are ratcheting up the stakes in a high pressure gamble.
The administration's push to confirm Blanche is the latest twist in a saga that has seen Trump officials repeatedly reassure senators that the fund is indeed dead, only to have their words called into question.
