The AP roundup reports President Donald Trump’s threat to advance a compensation fund while senators weigh attorney general nominee Todd Blanche, alongside scrutiny of Ohio Rep. Max Miller over longstanding abuse allegations. It also covers developments involving Trump’s business, Iran, migration, Ukraine and other stories.
Trump threatened to keep Todd Blanche as acting attorney general and press ahead with the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” if Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis do not support Blanche’s nomination. The senators have protested Blanche’s selection over a settlement fund, and Sen. Chuck Grassley rescheduled a Judiciary Committee vote. Separately, the roundup says Trump’s company began offering traders early access to his social media posts, raising questions about private gain and insider trading; the company defended the service.
The roundup also reports that Rep. Max Miller faces renewed scrutiny over abuse allegations that have been public for years. Democrats called for him to resign and requested an ethics investigation; Miller denied the allegations and filed defamation lawsuits. Other items cover Trump’s warnings about Iran, Spain’s response to a migration crisis, Russian strikes on Kyiv, and other international and domestic news.
