Senate Judiciary Committee Advances Todd Blanche's Attorney General Nomination

John Cornyn and Thom Tillis agreed to support advancing Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination after the Justice Department provided assurances or made changes concerning a proposed fund and an IRS settlement.

Left-leaning outlets emphasize criticism of the senators’ support and question whether the agreement changed protections tied to Trump. Center outlets focus on the committee process and assurances, while some also note opposition and uncertainty about floor support. Right-leaning outlets present the agreement as addressing Cornyn and Tillis’s concerns and moving Blanche forward, with some also relaying Democratic objections.
