Donald Trump has been forced to beg his Republican foes for a helping hand as he scrambles to rescue his former personal lawyer’s nomination as attorney general. Trump has repeatedly insulted both senators, blasting Tillis as a “loser” and a “quitter,” while dismissing Cornyn as “hopeless.” “Those are the issues we’re continuing to discuss with the administration to see whether we can get a modification of the settlement agreement,” Cornyn told Politico. Tillis told Politico that he has been encouraged by the Justice Department’s efforts to work with his staff to address his concerns, saying, “I know my staff have been in touch, almost, probably daily.” She added that Blanche took no accountability for the botched redaction system that saw some victims’ names released in the Epstein files.
