Trump says he will withdraw Todd Blanche's AG nomination instead of guaranteeing that he will not use his IRS immunity deal or $1.8B slush fund.

[Xochitl Hinojosa @XochitlHinojosa]

.@JohnCornyn knows the weaponization fund isn’t dead. In fact, @TheJusticeDept can settle claims from J6ers quietly without anyone ever knowing. They don’t need a fund.

[Andrew Desiderio @AndrewDesiderio]

Sen. Cornyn says DOJ has “not sufficiently” committed to him yet that the Trump/IRS settlement docs will be modified to align with Blanche’s testimony. They’re still talking

This is Cornyn’s condition for backing Blanche in committee on Thurs. Blanche needs all Judiciary R’s

What should the Attorney General's first loyalty be?

Former U.S. Attorney General @argonzales argues the answer is clear: the law - not the President, not a political party, and not personal ambition.

Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche:

"After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General.

"I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors — a marked contrast to his public testimony during his confirmation hearing.

"While quick to point to the failures of previous administrations, he refused to take accountability for mistakes made under his own leadership. Specifically, he would not commit to an inquiry into why my sister Maria Farmer's 1996 report went uninvestigated; he refused to release documents related to internal discussions about charging Epstein that would provide important clarification about previous errors, and his explanations for his nine-hour interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and her subsequent transfer to a less secure facility were wholly dissatisfactory and contrived.

"His evasiveness felt like a deliberate attempt to claim the Attorney General's office is powerless in this matter. By passing the buck once again, he is leaving survivors trapped in the same endless loop of searching for answers and receiving none."

[Arthur Delaney 🇺🇸 @ArthurDelaneyHP]

"This this type of settlement is done regularly,” Todd Blanche said of Trump's tax break.

Several other victims of the same tax leaker that disclosed Trump's info also sued.

The DOJ fought all their cases.

Only Trump got a sweetheart settlement.

New — John Cornyn, a key GOP vote on Judiciary, just told me he’s truly undecided on whether he’ll vote for Todd Blanche. Says he’s concerned that the $1.8B weaponization fund isn’t dead.
“What he confirmed is it’s not” dead.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

He just said the quiet part out loud

[Home of the Brave @OfTheBraveUSA]

We're blanketing DC with a simple message ahead of Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing: ASK TODD BLANCHE ABOUT EPSTEIN. Blanche oversaw the Epstein files release that exposed victims' information and redacted names of Epstein associates. Tell your senators to vote NO on Blanche.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the United States Women's National Soccer Team has won 4 World Cups.

[Rep. James Walkinshaw @Rep_Walkinshaw]

The Trump admin wants us to believe they had no role in Maxwell’s transfer. Yet right after Blanche met with Maxwell, she was moved to a more comfortable prison.

It’s not hard to connect the dots. A reward for helping protect Donald Trump.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Garcia: "We asked Bondi questions about Ghislaine Maxwell and the transfer, and she referred those questions to Todd Blanche and the Bureau of Prisons. So we have many questions for Mr Blanche that Republicans are refusing to ask. Why was she transferred to a less secure facility?"

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

No more lies. No more cover-ups.

It’s time for Pam Bondi to answer our questions.

[Andrew Desiderio @AndrewDesiderio]

News — Nearly 2-hour meeting with Acting AG Todd Blanche and Senate Republicans was incredibly hostile, per multiple attendees.

As many as 25 GOP senators spoke (this is very rare for these meetings), all in opposition to weaponization fund.

R’s pitched specific ideas such as dictating how the 5 commissioners are chosen & not allowing people convicted of violence against cops to be eligible for a payout.

[Oversight Dems @OversightDems]

Pam Bondi has illegally defied our committee, skipped her deposition, and refused to cooperate. Today, we have filed contempt charges. Read Ranking Member @RepRobertGarcia’s statement. ⬇️

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

Michael Whatley and Kristi Noem failed western North Carolina.

They caused FEMA to break its promise to the people of our state and that needs to change.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is dangerous.

Her DHS is killing American citizens, authorizing warrantless home invasions, and violently targeting peaceful protesters.

In today's hearing, Senators must press Noem on her violent and lawless agency.
