Senate Judiciary Committee Votes To Advance Todd Blanche Attorney General Nomination

HuffPost · back to the audit
The committee voted 12 to 10 in favor of Blanche, with all Republicans voting yes and all Democrats no. Blanche created the slush fund as part of a 'settlement' of a lawsuit Trump filed against his own administration in January. Blanche reluctantly issued a written statement Sunday rescinding his May order creating a $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'. Durbin said: "Even his word under oath is not credible enough." Grassley thanked the holdouts for their "very hard work."
