President Donald Trump has been dealt a major blow after a pivotal vote to advance his attorney general pick was postponed at the 11th hour due to rebelling Republicans. While Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, has said the DOJ is abandoning the fund, Cornyn in particular has demanded that the commitment be made official in writing. Trump downplayed the chances that Cornyn could tank Blanche’s nomination, saying Wednesday, “I’ve heard he’s going through quite nicely.” Asked on Wednesday by reporters on Trump’s claim, Cornyn said, “That’s a convenient excuse, and it happens to be untrue.” On whether he had heard from the DOJ, Cornyn added, “We’ve heard from them, it’s just that they refuse to commit to writing what he testified to under oath.
