Updated August 4, 2026 at 7:32 PM EDTThe Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday voted 12-10 to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general, teeing up a final confirmation before the full Senate. The Trump administration's effort to potentially compensate allies of the president and Jan. 6 rioters was holding up Blanche's confirmation on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The fight over the fund has held up Blanche's nomination for Attorney General on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee had planned to vote on the nomination last week, but delayed that vote to tomorrow to work through the deadlock over the anti-weaponization fund. In the hours after the Judiciary Committee vote, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement she would not vote to confirm him.
