Summary

Former President Donald Trump criticized Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn for opposing his nomination of Todd Blanche as Attorney General, linking the nomination fight to the proposed anti-weaponization bill. Trump suggested he would keep Blanche in an acting role and push for the bill if the senators continued their opposition. The senators' opposition stems from concerns about a controversial anti-weaponization fund that Blanche had previously established.
