President Donald Trump has threatened to keep acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in his position and revive the controversial $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund if two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, refuse to support Blanche's confirmation. Cornyn and Tillis have demanded written proof that the fund is dead before they will approve Blanche's nomination. Trump's threat comes after Blanche insisted for weeks that the fund was completely, undeniably dead. Critics argue that Trump's actions are poorly timed and could harm Republican chances in the upcoming midterm elections.
