Blanche rescinds Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' amid AG confirmation pressure

ABC News · back to the audit

Under pressure from two Republican senators blocking his confirmation as the next attorney general, Todd Blanche said he is formally rescinding his establishment of President Donald Trump's so-called "Anti-Weaponization Fund."

Blanche posted two separate orders on X Sunday night, one rescinding the nearly $1.8 billion fund, as well as another clarifying language regarding the scope of an arrangement that had shielded Trump from facing further IRS audits of his past tax returns.

Blanche's post is a signal that he had secured approval from Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who had been key holdouts on his nomination.
