Cornyn and Tillis Withhold Support for Blanche Over IRS Settlement Changes

Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are withholding support for Todd Blanche's nomination until they receive written confirmation that the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' is no longer active.
Cornyn insists on modifications to the IRS settlement agreement, including limiting audit immunity for Trump and his family.
The Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Blanche's nomination is scheduled for Thursday, creating urgency for these commitments.
