Senate committee vote on Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination postponed
En direct
Todd Blanche's nomination as US attorney general was postponed on July 30, 2026. Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis withheld support due to concerns about Blanche's close ties to Trump and a controversial tax immunity agreement. These senators requested that Trump put in writing the limits of this agreement, but the president refused, blocking their backing.
