The Senate is back on track to consider acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination to lead the Justice Department permanently after two key GOP holdouts said they were “pleased” with a deal they struck.
The DOJ said in a statement posted Sunday night that it has “rescinded” a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund meant to compensate people targeted by the federal government. The fund was part of a settlement brokered by Blanche that resolved President Donald Trump’s $10 billion suit against the Internal Revenue Service tied to the release of his tax returns during his first term in office.
