The Blanche Nomination: A Deal in Plain Sight The nomination of Todd Blanche for US Attorney General has been met with controversy, and some Republican senators had initially opposed his bid.
However, two GOP senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, dropped their opposition after receiving a written order from the Justice Department.
This concession is seen as a commitment to keep the fund meant to compensate those unfairly prosecuted by the Justice Department from being revived.
