Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche reached a deal with Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, formally rescinding the proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that had stalled his confirmation. The agreement also limits a separate tax-audit immunity provision to past claims covered by the original settlement and does not protect President Trump from scrutiny of future tax filings. The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote Tuesday on Blanche’s nomination.
