Blanche Privately Says He’ll Kill Weaponization Fund

Punchbowl News: “Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has told several GOP senators in private meetings that he’s willing to take formal action to kill the $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization fund,’ according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations.”

“Blanche has been meeting with senators — including the Republicans most skeptical of his nomination — as he works to secure the votes to become President Donald Trump’s confirmed attorney general. The sit-downs have been going relatively well for Blanche. But his GOP critics are watching carefully for progress on key concerns, including the anti-weaponization fund.”
