Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche rescinded an order establishing an "anti-weaponization" fund ahead of a Senate committee vote on his confirmation, after Republican senators raised concerns about the fund. The move appears to clear the way for securing Blanche’s approval, with Senator John Cornyn reposting news of the decision.
The fund was established intermittently in recent months by former President Donald Trump, who stated Sunday that it could be “back on the table” if Blanche is not confirmed. According to Trump, "A lot of people like it.” He spoke while speaking to reporters on Air Force One.
The rescission comes after Republican senators held up his nomination specifically over concerns regarding the fund. No right-leaning outlets reported on the story beyond President Trump’s statement.
