News – TPM – Talking Points Memo
Cornyn told reporters the meeting fell through after the Department of Justice failed to send over an adequate written proposal for how to modify the settlement between President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Services (IRS).
“The meeting with Todd Blanche is off,” Cornyn said Wednesday morning.
A DOJ official told TPM on Wednesday that the DOJ provided the senator’s office with a written proposal on Tuesday.
“We’ve had two meetings scheduled that have now been canceled because they have not been responsive in providing those written documents,” Cornyn said.
Opposition from even one Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee would tank Blanche’s chance at confirmation.
