Blanche AG Nomination Faces GOP Opposition; Trump Retaliates on Truth Social

Senators Cornyn and Tillis threaten to sink Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General over Trump's IRS deal. This creates a major intraparty battle and could delay or derail Trump's DOJ pick. Blanche, a former Trump defense attorney, is key for reshaping the Justice Department. Trump responded on Truth Social by tying Cornyn's criticism of a victim fund to his primary loss, signaling retaliation. The nomination fight is now a test of Trump's Senate influence.
