Trump Says He May Keep Todd Blanche as Acting Attorney General

Outlets on the center and right report that Trump said he would keep Todd Blanche as acting attorney general if senators do not support his confirmation. They also connect the dispute to the Anti-Weaponization Fund and assurances sought by senators.

Center outlets emphasize the fund’s potential benefits to Trump and his family and use more critical language about the plan. Right-leaning outlets frame the story as a confirmation dispute tied to assurances about the fund, with their accounts varying in how many participants’ views they include.
